Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI)
​
The ABI test is a quick non invasive bulk billed test with immediate results.
​
It compares blood pressure in your ankle and arm to assess how well blood is flowing to your legs.
It helps detect Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).
​
This is important as PAD increases your risk of heart attack, stroke and poor circulation.
​
You are eligible if you have any of the following:
​
-
Over 55yrs old
-
Diabetic, high blood pressure or high cholesterol
-
Smoking history or heart problems
-
Experiencing leg pains, cramps or poor wound healing.
