Recommendations for Diagnostic Testing for the Patient with Suspected Lower Extremity PAD (Claudication or Chronic Limb Ischemia)
Recommendations for Resting ABI (Ankle-Brachial Index) for Diagnosing PAD:
| Class I |
| "1. In patients with history or physical examination findings suggestive of PAD (Table 1), the resting ABI, with or without segmental pressures and waveforms, is recommended to establish the diagnosis.(Level of Evidence: B-NR)" |
| "2. Resting ABI results should be reported as abnormal (ABI ≤0.90), borderline (ABI 0.91–0.99), normal (1.00–1.40), or noncompressible (ABI >1.40). (Level of Evidence: C-LD)" |
| Class III (No Benefit) |
| "1. In patients not at increased risk of PAD and without history or physical examination findings suggestive of PAD (Table 1), the ABI is not recommended. (Level of Evidence: B-NR)" |
| Class IIa |
| "1. In patients at increased risk of PAD but without history or physical examination findings suggestive of PAD (Table 1), measurement of the resting ABI is reasonable. (Level of Evidence: B-NR)" |
