Implication

Clinical evaluation demonstrates diagnostic utility of ankle systolic pressure in lower extremity arterial disease, highlighting noninvasive blood flow assessment.

Key Points

To evaluate the clinical utility of measuring ankle systolic blood pressure in assessing lower extremity arterial occlusive disease.
Measured ankle systolic pressure using hemodynamic monitoring instruments in patients presenting with lower extremity arterial insufficiency at a blood flow laboratory.
Ankle systolic pressure measurements reliably reflect the presence and physiological severity of arterial obstruction in the lower limbs.
Reductions in distal systolic pressure correlate with impaired regional perfusion and functional circulatory impairment.
