Assessment of Peripheral Arterial Disease among Type 2 Diabetes Patients in Calabar, Nigeria.
There is a high prevalence of peripheral artery disease among people with T2DM in Calabar. The use of ABI is of great value in the detection of PAD, as evidenced by a more objective assessment of PAD compared to intermittent claudication and reduced/absent pedal pulses. Routine screening of PLWDM for PAD using ABI would enhance early diagnosis and intervention.
