Background: Stroke is an important cause of premature death and disability in developing countries such as India. A low ankle-brachial index (ABI) is predictive of peripheral arterial disease. Early assessment of the patient may be beneficial in rapid identification of severe cases, treatment and most importantly, disability limitation. Objectives: 1.To estimate and compare ABI among stroke and nonstroke patients .2.To study association of ABI and NIHSS score among study population. Methodology: A case control study was conducted among 50 patients of ischaemic stroke and 50 patients having no previous history of stroke. The study variables included Age, Gender, Ankle brachial index (ABI), NIHSS score etc. Data analysis was done using MS Excel and relevant statistical tests were applied. Results: Majority of the study participants were in the age groups of 51-70 years; 82 % were males; 22% of stroke patients had low ABI and 64% had normal ABI as compared to 82% of non-stroke patients; Mean NIHSS score was 22.5 among patients who had low ABI. Conclusion: Normal range of Ankle brachial index was observed to be significantly higher among non-stroke patients as compared to stroke patients. Patients with low ABI values presented with severe stroke.
