【 摘 要 】
BackgroundIn the last years significant attention has been paid in identifying markers of subclinical atherosclerosis or of increased cardiovascular risk.MethodAn abnormal ankle/brachial index (ABI) identifies patients affected by lower extremity peripheral arterial disease, and even more important, represents a powerful predictor of the development of future ischemic cardiovascular events.ConclusionsIn our opinion, ABI is a cardiovascular risk prediction tool with very desirable properties that might become a routine measurement in clinical practice.
