Ankle Brachial Index (ABI)
Good for: heart.

The score explained

evidence, testing and value, weighed before price

Why 7.0 of 10: A quick, legitimate screen for circulation problems. Genuinely useful, mainly if there's a reason to check.

Scored as a treatment type, not any single venue. Diagnostics are judged on whether the number is true, useful and actionable.

what’s good
  • An established clinical screen for peripheral arterial disease
  • Quick, painless and cheap
worth knowing
  • Targeted screen, not a test everyone needs
  • A GP can order it for less than a retreat charges

what the evidence says

ABI is an established clinical screen for peripheral arterial disease. Real, but targeted rather than for everyone.

Plain-language assessment of the human evidence. No cherry-picked citations.
