Popis: Background Asymptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is common amongst the elderly and is a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. PAD can be assessed by non-invasive tests such as the ankle/brachial pressure index (ABPI) at rest and Doppler flow velocity (DFV) scanning, but these tests may underestimate the prevalence of PAD. The aim of this study was to estimate the added value, for the detection of PAD, of the one-minute exercise test, defined as positive if the drop of the ankle systolic pressure was more than 30 mmHg. We also investigated whether the combination of the ABPI at rest and the one-minute exercise test could replace DFV scanning. Materials and methods We studied this in a random sample (n = 631) of a 50- to 75-year-old population. Results Of these subjects 11% (66/631) had an abnormal ABPI (
