An ABI reading of < 0.9, compared with the angiogram as the gold standard, has a sensitivity The easy quick check for the doctor‘s office. of up to 95 % in identifying PAOD, and conversely rules out this condition in healthy people with a specificity of almost 100 %.¹ The getABI study² shows that the prevalence of PAOD among individuals aged over 60 is 20 %.

boso ABI-system 100 The boso ABI-system 100 Outstanding: The boso ABI-system. The boso ABI-system offers many benefits for doctors and patients compared to the previous Doppler ultrasound method. Early detection and routine check In the past, tests were only carried out in cases of suspected disease, because the test was time-consuming and expensive. In addition, PAOD often was not detected early enough as it does not cause any symptoms for a long time. The boso ABI-system is an innovative and rapid way of measuring the ankle-brachial index (ABI). This allows to carry out this test on a...

The sophisticated software accurately calculates the ABI both on the left and on the right side. Other important cardiovascular parameters are also measured, such as individual blood pressure readings in arms and legs, differences in blood pressure on different sides of the body (subclavian artery stenosis), pulse, pulse pressure, oscillation profile and pointers to possible cardiac dysrhythmia disorders. This information is easily identifiable as all critical values are highlighted in a different colours. Difference between sides (subclavian artery stenosis) Pulse pressure Blood pressure...

Arterial stiffness readings provide useful information about the existence of functional arterial more accurate than classical risk parameters such as blood pressure and age. Pulse wave velocity. For a better management of patients with hypertension, tests for arterial stiffness provide additional information about the cardiovascular risk. The recent guidelines published by the Pulse wave velocity is an additional tool to diagnose PAOD and to measure arterial stiffness. European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) recommend the investigation of...
