Assessing Automatic Plethysmographic Ankle-Brachial Index Devices in Peripheral Artery Disease Detection: A Comparative Study with Doppler Ankle-Brachial Index Measurements

CONCLUSIONS While the automatic plethysmographic ABI device may lack the necessary diagnostic capabilities to replace the traditional Doppler ABI device as a standalone test in PAD diagnosis, it could still offer significant value in primary care settings if integrated with adjusted cut-off points and pulse wave velocity analysis.PMID:37542370 | DOI:10.12659/MSM.940829
