What is CIMT Testing?

Through an ultrasound of the carotid arteries, a Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT) test can tell you:

Your plaque levels and thickness of your arteries

The relative “age” of your arteries

Your current risk of heart disease and stroke

Early detection is key.

The thicker the arterial walls, the higher the risk of cardiovascular disease, heart attack, and stroke. Drivers of increased arterial thickness (CIMT) include:

  • Processed food diet
  • Prolonged exposure to particulate air pollution
  • Physical inactivity
  • Current smoker
  • Men
  • Older age
  • Women in menopause
  • Family history of cardiovascular disease
  • Diabetes
  • Chronic kidney disease
  • Subclinical hypothyroidism
  • Rheumatic disease, hsCRP >2
  • Peripheral artery disease
  • HIV-positive persons
  • Long-term or hidden infections
  • High adipose tissue
  • Abnormal lipid profile
  • Hypertension
  • Metabolic disease
  • SBP
  • Malabsorption
  • Low serum vitamin D
