Extract from a document issued in April 2006 by the French Health Authority on PAOD

• «Who should be screened? All cardiovascular at risks patients.»
  
  
• «How to do it? Clinical investigation plus systematic ABI measurement with a Doppler.»
  
  
• «Whether PAOD is symptomatic or not, an abnormal ABI leads to a morbid-mortality cardiovascular risk.»
