An arteriostenosis diagnosing apparatus which measures an ankle blood pressure at an ankle 12 of a patient and a brachium blood pressure at a brachium 14 , so that the measured ankle and brachium blood pressure values are used to calculate an ankle and brachium blood pressure index ABI, and additionally measures a first pulse wave propagation velocity PWV 1 with respect to the ankle 12 as a first measuring point and the brachium 14 as a second measuring point, and a second pulse wave propagation velocity PWV 2 with respect to the patient's heart and the brachium 14 . The arteriostenosis diagnosing apparatus includes an arteriostenosis judging device 100 which judges, even if the index ABI may fall in a prescribed normal range or a prescribed alert range and the first velocity PWV 1 falls in a prescribed normal range, that there is a possibility that an inferior limb including the ankle 12 at which the ankle blood pressure has been measured, may have arteriostenosis, if the second velocity PWV 2 falls in a prescribed abnormal range.
