\"Despite advances in patient education, cardiovascular disease remains the #1 killer in our population. Estimates indicate that with the increasing incidence of Metabolic Syndrome and Diabetes, morofferity and mortality may increase over the next 20 years. Even though there has been some improvement in cardiovascular disease assessment and intervention in men, there has been little progress regarding the detection and prevention of cardiovascular disease in women.
As many as 50% of those who died from heart attacks or strokes had no previous signs or symptoms. This test allows early intervention and prevention of disease which has the potential to catch more of these patients so they can be treated before they experience an event. In fact, some studies have shown that showing these patients their test results may help to improve their adherence to prescribed treatments.
Traditional risk factors such as cholesterol and blood pressure may be misleading. As many as 50% of those who died from heart attacks or strokes had normal \"lipid\" profiles. Carotid IMT will catch more people with disease who may have been shown to be normal on other tests like stress echo, standard lipid panels, and other blood/urine screens.
Carotid ultrasound scanning with CIMT measurement is a cost effective diagnostic tool which provides health value and saves lives.\"
