What is a Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Test (CIMT)? It is a simple, non-invasive, ultrasound test looking at the wall of your arteries. It is one of the most important tests starting at the age of 45. Through this test, we can look for early signs of asymptomatic disease, that can eventually lead to a heart attack, stroke, or dementia.
In this episode, we review the CIMT test and how it can be used to detect early signs of asymptomatic disease. We discuss root causes and the importance between medicine and dentistry.
