Early Heart Disease Detection
What Is a CIMT Scan?
A CIMT (Carotid Intima-Media Thickness) scan is a non-invasive ultrasound that measures the thickness of your carotid artery walls. Thickening indicates plaque buildup — the earliest sign of cardiovascular disease.
Unlike traditional screenings that only measure risk factors like cholesterol, CIMT shows actual disease in your arteries — often years before a heart attack or stroke.

Benefits of CIMT Testing
Early detection saves lives
Thickening of these walls is the earliest sign of atherosclerosis, the disease that causes heart attacks and strokes. What are the benefits of this scan?
- Detect disease before symptoms
- No radiation or needles
- Results in minutes
- Personalized risk assessment
Who Should Consider CIMT Testing:
- Individuals over 40 years of age.
- People with high blood pressure, diabetes, or cholesterol issues.
- Those with a family history of heart attacks.
50% of heart attacks occur in people with "normal" cholesterol. Standard blood work misses what matters most: what's actually happening inside your arteries.
A CIMT scan can detect:
- Early plaque buildup invisible to other tests
- Your true "arterial age" vs. calendar age
- Whether you need aggressive intervention — or reassurance
The test takes 15-20 minutes. No radiation. No needles. No fasting required.
