non-invasive
ultrasound test

CIMT scanning is a non-invasive ultrasound test that measures the thickness of the inner layers of your carotid artery walls. Thickening of these walls is an early indicator of atherosclerosis, the buildup of plaque in the arteries that can lead to stroke and other cardiovascular conditions.

This simple, painless procedure can identify changes in your arteries years before a traditional blood pressure or cholesterol test would signal a problem. Armed with this knowledge, you can take proactive steps to reduce your risk and protect your health.

1. Early Detection: CIMT scans detect arterial changes before they lead to blockages or serious health events.

2. Personalised Insights: Your scan results provide a detailed picture of your cardiovascular health, allowing for tailored prevention strategies.

3. Non-Invasive and Quick: The procedure is safe, requires no downtime, and takes less than 30 minutes.

4. Empowering Prevention: With your results, you can make informed decisions to lower your stroke risk through lifestyle changes, supplements, or further medical interventions.

CIMT scanning is particularly valuable for individuals with one or more of the following risk factors:

• Family history of stroke or heart disease
• High blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes
• Persistent inflammation or elevated blood sugar
• Hormonal imbalances, especially during menopause 
• Previous transient ischemic attack (TIA) or other warning signs

CIMT scans are just the beginning. By combining CIMT scanning with comprehensive testing, we help you create a prevention plan that aligns with your unique needs.

Our approach integrates advanced testing and tailored recommendations to manage your risk factors effectively:

• Homocysteine Testing: Elevated levels can significantly increase stroke risk.
• Hormonal Assessments: Particularly crucial for women navigating menopause, early menopause, or pregnancy-related risks.
• Blood Glucose and Inflammation Management: These silent drivers of stroke risk can often go undetected without proactive testing.
