Carotid Ultrasound (CIMT) in Boca Raton, FL
Check Your Heart Health
This is one very useful scan...
CIMT: The CAROTID INTIMA-MEDIA THICKNESS test (CIMT) is a measure used to diagnose the extent of carotid atherosclerotic vascular disease. Like a few of our tests, this one could actually save your life.
How could a CIMT save a life, exactly?
Inflammation of the carotid artery is often an indicator of a wide range of serious conditions, including infections or autoimmune diseases.
An increase in intima-media thickness (IMT) is often recognized as one of the first structural changes to accompany atherosclerosis (the build-up of fatty deposits, often referred to as plaque) in the artery.
The general presence of thicker arteries places the patient at greater risk of:
- Carotid artery disease
- Chronic kidney disease
- Peripheral artery disease
- Coronary heart disease
What’s the CIMT like?
The procedure is non-invasive, painless, and quick, and requires no special preparation. There is no recovery time, either! In fact, unlike standard cardiovascular testing procedures, you can probably fit the CIMT into your lunchtime.
