2. Ankle–brachial pressure index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankle–brachial_pressure...

   The ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) or ankle-brachial index (ABI) is the ratio of the blood pressure at the ankle to the blood pressure in the upper arm (brachium). Compared to the arm, lower blood pressure in the leg suggests blocked arteries due to peripheral artery disease (PAD).

3. Peripheral vascular examination - Wikipedia

   Ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) assesses peripheral vascular disease. [1] It may however be unreliable in patients with calcified arteries in the calf (often diabetic patients) or those with extensive oedema, in which case toe pressure or Toe-brachial pressure index (TBPI) should be measured to aid in the diagnosis.
