Differential associations of ankle and brachial blood pressures with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases: cross-sectional study

Abstract Increased brachial systolic blood-pressure (BP) predicts diabetes (T2DM) but is not fully effective. Value of absolute ankle systolic BP for T2DM compared to brachial systolic BP is not known. Our objectives were to assess independent relationships of ankle-systolic BP with T2DM and cardiov...
