Alternative ankle–brachial assessments show no significant added value in predicting mortality of hypertensive patients
In hypertensive individuals, ABI-LOW and multivessel scoring identify more PAD cases and are independently associated with mortality. However, their incremental value in mortality risk prediction is limited. Alternative ABI methods may assist in identifying higher risk subgroups warranting further vascular assessment.
