• An ABI <0.9 correlates with increased risk of myocardial infarction and indicates
significant, although per-haps asymptomatic, underlying peripheral vascular disease.
Normal is more than 1.
• Patients with claudication typically have an ABI in the 0.5 to 0.7 range, and those with
rest pain are in the 0.3 to 0.5 range. Those with gangrene have an ABI of <0.3. These
ranges can vary depending on the degree of compressibility of the vessel. The test is less
reliable in patients with heavily calcified vessels. Due to non compressibility, some
patients such as diabetics and those with end-stage renal disease may have an ABI of
1.40 or greater and require additional noninvasive diagnostic testing to evaluate for
peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
