Refines PAD screening accuracy with highest-pressure ABI formula; challenges erroneous calculations in prior cardiology literature.
ankle brachial index' section has been corrected to the following: 'The ABI of each leg is the highest arm systolic blood pressure (SBP) (obtained by blood pressure cuff above the ankle and Doppler of both the dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial arteries) divided by the highest ankle SBP'.
