ABI Vascular Study in Miami

What is an ABI Vascular Study?

An ABI (Ankle-Brachial Index) Vascular Study is a non-invasive and painless test that measures the blood pressure in your arms and legs. By comparing the blood pressure in these areas, our skilled technicians can identify potential blockages or restrictions in the blood flow to your extremities.

This diagnostic procedure is particularly helpful in detecting peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition characterized by narrowed or blocked arteries in the legs. Left untreated, PAD can lead to symptoms such as leg pain, cramping, and even non-healing wounds.

During an ABI Vascular Study, you’ll rest comfortably as blood pressure cuffs are placed on your arms and ankles. By measuring the pressure ratios in these areas, we can determine your ABI score, which provides valuable information about the overall health of your circulatory system.

Early detection and intervention are key when it comes to vascular conditions. The Universal Imaging & Radiology team is dedicated to helping you maintain optimal vascular health, enabling you to live a full and active life.
