A member asked:
I have normal blood pressure and excellent body mass index with no comorbidities, yet my ankle brachial index is 1.45? why is that?

https://stanfordmedicine25.stanford.edu/the25/ankle-brachial-index.html. You should look at the interpretation at the website to understand better and you should not be anxious. I wonder why you even checked your ABI if you do not have any medical complaint, there is danger to checking when there is no need to is what I mean.
