Prevent Stroke, Heart Disease & More: How CIMT Carotid Artery Ultrasound Reveals Early Health Risks

Are you looking to prevent stroke, heart disease, and other serious health conditions before symptoms appear? In this video, Dr. Myra explains the powerful benefits of CIMT (Carotid Intima-Media Thickness) ultrasound for early detection of artery plaque buildup. This advanced ultrasound assesses the health of the carotid arteries that supply blood to the brain, but it also reveals risk factors related to the heart, kidneys, and other organs.

CIMT testing is crucial for identifying atherosclerosis and early signs of vascular disease, helping you take proactive steps to protect against stroke, heart attack, vascular dementia, kidney disease, and even erectile dysfunction. Through detailed measurements of plaque and calcium buildup from cholesterol and lifestyle factors, CIMT offers insight into your overall vascular health.

Additionally, Dr. Myra shares how the Cleveland Heart Lab cardiovascular panel goes deeper into your heart health by analyzing inflammatory markers, lipoprotein particle size and number, insulin resistance, and essential nutrients like Vitamin D, B12, and folate. This combination of testing allows you to make informed decisions to improve your health through lifestyle changes, such as lowering cholesterol, exercising, eating anti-inflammatory foods, managing sleep apnea, and more.

Take control of your brain, heart, and vascular health with these cutting-edge, preventive health strategies. Watch now to learn how early detection can help you avoid chronic diseases and maintain optimal health!
