Nonstandard aspects of ABPI measurement42
| Position of patient during measurement |
| Width and level of sphygmometer cuffs |
| Use of Korotkoff method vs Dinamap vs Doppler probe to define systolic pressures |
| Whether to use both brachial pressures or not in calculation of ABPI |
| Whether to use all three crural vessels, two, or just one in calculation of ABPI |
| Whether to use highest or mean values of pressure in calculation of ABPI |
| Normal ranges for ABPI ratios |
Abbreviation: ABPI, Ankle Brachial Pressure Index.
