Vascular Doppler
• Measures blood flow through 
arteries and veins using high-
frequency sound waves.
• Useful in detecting abnormal blood 
flow in peripheral arterial disease 
(PAD) in patients with diabetes.
• Kody Medical Electronics offers 
handheld vascular Doppler 
machines.

Calculation of Ankle-
Brachial Index (ABI)
ABI is a parameter that indicates the severity 
of PAD
Measure blood pressure in both ankles and 
arms using handheld vascular Doppler
ABI is a parameter that indicates the severity 
of PAD
Divide the higher systolic blood pressure from 
ankles by the higher systolic blood pressure 
from arms
ABI value of 0.9 or lower is indicative of 
PAD

Low ABI
• ABI value of 0.9 or lower is indicative of 
PAD
• Low ABI points to higher risk of heart 
attack, kidney disease, high blood 
pressure, and stroke
• ABI may be repeated after exercise to 
assess abnormal value (decrease of 20% or 
more after exercising)
Low ABI and Associated Risks in PAD

High ABI
ABI value higher than 1.4 is indicative of 
stiffness of peripheral blood vessels
Common in advanced age or 
diabetes
People with ABI higher than 1.4 carry twice the 
risk of cardiovascular death

ABI and Patient 
O• Eaurly tdicagonosmis of ePAD with handheld vascular Doppler 
results in early intervention and better patient 
outcomes.
• Frequent repetitions of ABI testing helps assess 
disease status and modify treatment strategies.
• Kody's handheld vascular Doppler machines provide 
bidirectional assessment for PAD and facilitate early 
medical intervention

Conclusion
Improved Outcomes: Patient Benefits: Significance of ABI: 
ABI Measurements Handheld Doppler Doppler Machines
Handheld vascular Doppler ABI measurements obtained Early diagnosis and 
machines are valuable tools with handheld vascular intervention can lead to 
in assessing blood flow and Doppler can significantly better management of PAD 
detecting PAD improve patient outcomes and associated risks
