We Provide A Test That Checks Your Risk Of Suffering A Heart Attack Or Stroke With The Highest Degree of Accuracy. It’s Called CIMT.
CIMT stands for Carotid Intima Media Thickness and refers to the thickness of the inner two layers (intima and media) of the carotid artery, which lies in the neck.
What Is CIMT?
The measurement of the thickness of the intima and media layers of the common carotid artery is predictive of future events (i.e. stroke, myocardial infarction, and heart attack).
