Cost of CIMT Exam
Our CIMT test is $395, less expensive than Stress Echo, Angiogram, Treadmill Tests, and Nuclear Stress Test, which all look for arterial blockages, miss early non-blocking disease, and tell you virtually nothing about your risk of having a future heart attack or stroke.
- $395
- Know Your Risk of Heart Attack or Stroke
Why CIMT Exam?
Our CIMT test is far superior to Carotid ultrasound tests, which are performed at hospitals and by screening companies (Carotid Doppler or Duplex) which only detect artery blockages exceeding 50%. Unfortunately, 68% of all heart attacks and strokes occur in people with arterial blockages of less than 50%.
Atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease can be detected in time to be treated with simple lifestyle modifications and, if necessary, medication instead of surgical intervention.
Cardiac Risk Specialists’ CIMT test is a simple, painless, non-invasive, radiation-free test that
only takes 15 minutes.
In a 10 year study, CIMT caught 98.6% of heart attacks and strokes BEFORE they occurred.
Many patients suffering the early and immediate stages of atherosclerosis show no outward signs or symptoms of the disease.
As many as 50% of those who died from Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) had no prior signs or symptoms, and had cholesterol levels that met current medical guidelines.

Arterial Inflammation
Arterial inflammation is the precursor to atherosclerotic plaque and blockages. Our CIMT test measures the actual degree of inflammation and plaque that exists in the lining of the artery, and is more accurate and a better predictor of future events, such as heart attack and strokes.
