AB  - Atherosclerosis  is  a  systemic  vascular  disease  that  often  affects  multiple  vascular  territories  and  leads  to  peripheral  artery  disease  (PAD).  The  age-adjusted  prevalence  of  peripheral  atherosclerotic  disease  is  approximately  12%.1  However,  patients  with  established  risk  factors  for  this  condition,  such  as  diabetes  mellitus,  or  patients  with  known  coronary  artery  disease  (CAD),  have  a  much  higher  prevalence  of  peripheral  athero-occlusive  disease.2  Peripheral  atherosclerotic  disease  remains  poorly  recognized,  as  recently  demonstrated  by  the  PARTNERS  (Peripheral  Arterial  Disease  Awareness,  Risk  and  Treatment:  New  Resources  for  Survival)  Investigators,  a  US  national  survey  of  almost  7000  patients  seen  in  320  primary  care  clinics.  The  survey  showed  that  only  45%  of  the  patients  with  peripheral  vascular  disease  had  been  diagnosed  with  this  condition  prior  to  the  PARTNERS  Program.3
