Objective: Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD), defined as having low ankle-brachial pressure index (ABI), have increased risk for incident stroke compared with those without PAD. We aimed to reveal whether ABI abnormality, especially high ABI is associated with prevalent silent cerebral infarction (SCI) in type 2 diabetic patients.Methods: We studied 538 Japanese type 2 diabetic patients, 227 women and 311 men, with a mean [+/- SD] age of 64 +/- 11 years. All patients underwent cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Values of ABI were classified as low (
