Abstract
It is common for patients with PAD to have concomitant CAD because both are caused by atherosclerosis, a systemic process. This has been well established in international studies. The incidence of PAD in patients with known CAD in our population is unknown. The ankle – brachial index (ABI) can be calculated by taking the ratio of ankle systolic pressure and brachial systolic pressure. It is a simple, easy and cost effective bedside tool to diagnose peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
