Abstract

This study examines the relationship between a high ankle-brachial index (ABI) and the occurrence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a group of 300 individuals with type 2 diabetes. The study examines the prevalence of PAD and CVD, as well as the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) over a three-year period, by classifying ABI into low, normal, and high groups. The findings reveal a strong association between elevated ABI and higher risks, with a 28% increase in peripheral artery disease (PAD) and a 33% increase in cardiovascular disease (CVD). Additionally, there is a notable 40% rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), highlighting the importance of ABI as a predictive tool in managing cardiovascular risk.
