  "We believe these data ... provide a powerful wake up call to the public, as well as to every health professional and health care system in this nation," Dr. Alan T. Hirsch told Reuters Health.
  
  "The evidence of poor public awareness of PAD -- one of the most common cardiovascular diseases that is associated with high short-term risk to life and limb -- is startling," added Hirsch, who is chair of the National PAD Coalition and director of the vascular medicine program at the Minneapolis Heart Institute, Minnesota."Ignoring artery disease outside the coronary arteries, despite comparable risk, would be the cardiovascular equivalent of ignoring all cancers outside the brain."
  
  The findings of this survey, Hirsch added, have "thankfully highlighted the 'public knowledge gap' in incontrovertible scientific terms.What we don't know can kill us.Thankfully, the public can also now learn how to prevent PAD."
  
  Hirsch suggests visiting the PAD Coalition website (www.padcoalition.org) and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's 'Stay in Circulation: Take Steps to Learn About P.A.D.' campaign (www.aboutpad.org)."

  Dr. Alan Hirsch of the Minneapolis Heart Institute at Abbott Northwestern Hospital says, "Peripheral arterial disease can occur silently without symptoms but in many individuals causes leg muscle discomfort with exercise that resolves with rest."And if left untreated, Hirsch says PAD can be very dangerous, "because of the associated risk of heart attack and stroke, as well as in very severe cases, of potential amputation, loss of limb."He says there are three ways to treat PAD.They are angioplasty, medication and supervised exercise. But it's still unclear which is safest and the most effective.So Hirsch is helping conduct a study to find out.It's called the CLEVER study.He says, "The only way to find that answer, really, is when individuals volunteer to participate in clinical research." Hirsch needs people like his patient, Celia Schmidt, to enroll.

  Other statins on the market would likely achieve a comparable effect, said Dr. Alan T. Hirsch, director of the vascular medicine program at the Minneapolis Heart Institute and a spokesman for the American Heart Association.
  
  He said statins aren't being used enough in people with peripheral artery disease, and he hopes the study draws attention to their benefits at the time of surgery, as well as throughout the lifetime of the patient.
  
  "A statin is a seat belt when you drive a damaged artery," he said.
