Who should get Abi index test (Ankle Brachial Index ) done in Gurugram?

Gurugram's high-pressure corporate culture in Cyber City, Golf Course Road, and Udyog Vihar, combined with NCR's air pollution, an independent cardiac risk factor, sedentary work, and delivery-food diets, drives disproportionately high early cardiovascular risk in adults aged 30 to 45. Regular cardiac testing is recommended for patients on statin therapy (to confirm LDL has reached the treatment target), post-cardiac event patients (to monitor secondary prevention), people with type 2 diabetes (which doubles cardiovascular risk), and anyone with persistently elevated blood pressure.

What conditions can Abi index test (Ankle Brachial Index ) help diagnose?

Abnormal results can be caused by atherosclerosis from smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure. A family history of vascular disease increases the need for testing.

LDL above 130 mg/dL: elevated risk , your cardiologist will advise dietary changes or statin therapy based on your overall risk score. LDL above 190 mg/dL may indicate familial hypercholesterolaemia. HDL below 40 mg/dL (men) or 50 mg/dL (women): reduced protection. Triglycerides above 200 mg/dL: diet, alcohol, or diabetes-related. Troponin above the 99th percentile: heart muscle injury , may signal a heart attack, especially if rising on serial testing.

How often should Abi index test (Ankle Brachial Index ) be repeated?
