Study Links Ankle-Brachial Index to Heart Failure in Type 2 Diabetes Patients

A new cross-sectional study published in Cureus explores the correlation between the Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) and cardiac markers in patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

Researchers found significant associations between ABI values, NT-proBNP levels, and Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction, providing insights into heart failure risk assessment.

The findings suggest that ABI could serve as a valuable diagnostic tool for early detection of cardiovascular complications in diabetic populations.
