A normal resting ankle-brachial index is 1.0 to 1.4. This means that your blood pressure at your ankle is the same or greater than the pressure at your arm, and suggests that you do not have significant narrowing or blockage of blood flow.
What does ABI 1.3 mean?
INTERPRETATION OF ABI RESULTS PAD is graded as mild to moderate if the ABI is between 0.4 and 0.9, and an ABI less than 0.40 is suggestive of severe PAD [19]. An ABI value greater than 1.3 is also considered abnormal, suggestive of non-compressible vessels.
What does non compressible ABI mean?
A non-compressible ABI (ncABI) is defined by an ABI of >1.4 and is histologically associated with medial arterial calcification (Mönckeberg’s calcific sclerosis), which is classically observed in diabetics and those with advanced renal disease.
