Just because everyone is behaving as though COVID - 19 doesn't exist anymore, doesn't mean YOU should. It is very real, and it can be very dangerous. Protect yourself. Protect your loved ones.
Wash your hands.
Sanitise.
Wear a mask.
Social distance.
Stay home (if you can).

#ABPI > 1.3 is a significant indicator of a high risk of cardiovascular events and even mortality due to CVD. A reading above 1.3 is not as reliable as it also implies possible calcification of the arteries #Diabetes #PAD

[Reenika Veerasammy @ReenikaVeerasa1]

Main limitation of Ankle Brachial Pressure Index:
#ABPI of 1.3 or more reflects poor compressability of arteries: indicative of medial arterial calcification. #ToeBrachialIndex is necessary (normal: 0.7).
