         ABI mitataan yleensä olkavarren ja nilkan systolisesta painetasosta normaalia verenpainemansettia
            ja verisuonidopplerlaitetta käyttäen. Tulos < 0,9 viittaa perifeeriseen valtimotautiin
            ja yleensä myös pitkälle edenneeseen ateroskleroosiin   «Laurent S, Boutouyrie P, Asmar R ym. Aortic stiffn...»1. 
         
         Myös oireettomilla normaalia matalampi ABI ennustaa lisääntynyttä sepelvaltimotaudin,
            sydäninfarktin, sydämen vajaatoiminnan ja aivohalvauksen riskiä sekä sepelvaltimotoimenpiteiden
            ja tulevien verisuonikirurgisten toimenpiteiden tarvetta  «Criqui MH, Langer RD, Fronek A ym. Mortality over ...»2,  «McKenna M, Wolfson S, Kuller L.
