Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed how both low and high ankle-brachial index (ABI) levels relate to the risk of cardiovascular events across different ethnic groups.
- The research included over 6,600 adults aged 45-84, focusing on those without existing cardiovascular disease, and tracked incidents of coronary disease and stroke over about 5.3 years.
- Findings indicated that low and high ABI levels both correlate with increased cardiovascular risk, showing consistent results across genders and ethnicities, emphasizing the need for future studies on the cost-effectiveness of ABI measurements in specific populations.
