Whereas downhill skiing and snowboarding are great forms of

September 19, 2006.
Whereas peripheral arterial disease is a vascular disease that 
occurs when narrowed arteries reduce the blood flow to 
the limbs; 
Whereas peripheral arterial disease is a significant vascular 
disease that can be as serious as a heart attack or stroke; 
Whereas peripheral arterial disease affects approximately 
8,000,000 to 12,000,000 Americans; 
Whereas patients with peripheral arterial disease are at in-
creased risk of heart attack and stroke and are 6 times 
more likely to die within 10 years than are patients with-
out peripheral arterial disease; 
Whereas the survival rate for individuals with peripheral arte-
rial disease is worse than the outcome for many common 
cancers; 
Whereas peripheral arterial disease is a leading cause of 
lower limb amputation in the United States; 
Whereas many patients with peripheral arterial disease have 
walking impairment that leads to a diminished quality of 
life and functional capacity; 
Whereas a majority of patients with peripheral arterial dis-
ease are asymptomatic and less than half of individuals
•HRES 982 EH 
with peripheral arterial disease are aware of their diag-
noses; 
Whereas African-American ethnicity is a strong and inde-
pendent risk factor for peripheral arterial disease, and 
yet this fact is not well known to those at risk; 
Whereas effective treatments are available for people with pe-
ripheral arterial disease to reduce heart attacks, strokes, 
and amputations and to improve quality of life; 
Whereas many patients with peripheral arterial disease are 
still untreated with proven therapies; 
Whereas there is a need for comprehensive educational efforts 
designed to increase awareness of peripheral arterial dis-
ease among medical professionals and the greater public 
in order to promote early detection and proper treatment 
of this disease to improve quality of life, prevent heart at-
tacks and strokes, and save lives and limbs; and 
Whereas September 18 through September 22, 2006, would 
be an appropriate week to observe National Peripheral 
Arterial Disease Awareness Week: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) supports the goals and ideals of National Pe-

(2) supports efforts to educate people about periph-
eral arterial disease; 
(3) acknowledges the critical importance of periph-

serve the week with appropriate programs and activities.
