Simple test helps predict heart attack risk
The use of common and readily available screening tests-like the ankle brachial index (ABI)-along with traditional risk scoring systems-such as the Framingham Risk Score-has the potential to prevent devastating heart attacks in thousands of individuals who are not originally thought to be at high risk (according to Framingham alone), say... view more...
