Leveraging CIMT for Patient Health & Practice Growth
In the wake of rising cardiovascular disease rates, there's an urgent need for innovative diagnostic methods in healthcare. For clinicians, this presents a unique opportunity to expand their practice’s services while playing a crucial role in early disease detection and prevention.
Understanding Cardiovascular Risks
Cardiovascular risks are often silent yet significant. Clinicians, regardless of their specialty, can identify these risks early with advanced tools like CIMT, greatly impacting patient outcomes.
The Evolution of Cardiovascular Diagnostics: Embracing CIMT
The shift towards non-invasive, accurate diagnostics like Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT) has revolutionized cardiovascular care. It offers a detailed view of a patient's cardiovascular health, enhancing early and precise detection.
Introducing the Vasometrics Report
The Vasometrics Report provides a comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular health. Its integration into various clinical practices, from cardiology to primary care, augments patient understanding and involvement in their health journey.
Plaque Assessment in Cardiovascular Diagnostics
Assessing arterial plaque is crucial in managing cardiovascular health. The Vasometrics Report offers detailed insights into plaque types and their implications for patient care.
The Power of Visualization in Enhancing Patient Compliance
Seeing one's cardiovascular health through the Vasometrics Report can significantly motivate patients. Visual evidence encourages them to take proactive health measures.
Simplifying CIMT Adoption in Diverse Clinical Practices
Integrating CIMT into clinical practice is simpler than many healthcare providers think. Regardless of their specialty, clinicians can easily adopt these protocols, enhancing patient care.
Revenue Enhancement through Cardiovascular Management Programs
Integrating cardiovascular management programs can attract new patients and provide additional value to existing ones, offering significant revenue-generating opportunities for clinics.
Clinics Thriving with CIMT
Clinics across various healthcare settings, particularly in preventive health services, have successfully integrated CIMT and the Vasometrics report into their services, enhancing both patient care and practice growth.
Conclusion
The integration of advanced cardiovascular diagnostics like CIMT and the Vasometrics report offers a win-win situation for both patients and clinicians. It's an opportunity for healthcare providers to advance their practice and patient care, emphasizing the ease of integration and comprehensive support provided by Vasolabs.
Why should you get this C-IMT scan?
Informed patients make better decisions.
Early Detection of Heart Disease Risk
A C-IMT scan can act as an early warning system by identifying increased thickness in the artery walls long before any symptoms of heart disease or stroke become evident.
Personalized Treatment Plan
The results of a C-IMT scan can help your doctor tailor a treatment plan to reduce your risk of heart attack or stroke, which is the leading cause of death and disability in the world.
Non-Invasive and Safe
Unlike some other tests, the C-IMT scan is non-invasive and uses ultrasound, not radiation. It's safe and doesn't require any special preparation.
Family History
If you have a family history of early heart disease or stroke, the scan can provide valuable information about your own risk, helping you and your doctor to take preventive measures.
Peace of Mind
If you are anxious about your cardiovascular health, a vasometric scan can provide reassurance if your results are within a normal range.

Looking back, it's chilling to realize how close I came to the edge. I opted for a test at Vasolabs on a whim, without any particular symptoms. Boy, am I glad I did! Turns out, my arteries were nearly clogged up - something regular doctors wouldn't have caught unless there were signs of a problem. By the time I got a couple of second opinions and returned to my regular doctor, my arteries were 95% blocked. If I hadn't taken the test when I did, I could have had a stroke. Trust me when I say this, going to Vasolabs was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

I was really worried about getting a heart attack because its already happened in our family. So taking this test gave me the peace of mind I was looking for. And it was so cool to see the age of my artery was younger than I was!!

I went to Vasolabs for their C-IMT testing, thinking it'd be a complicated deal, but nope! It was as easy as getting a photo taken. And guess what? They found an issue that could've been a silent threat. Thanks to them catching it early, my doctor and I are on top of it now. Honestly, I feel like I dodged a bullet. Big thumbs up for Vasolabs!

I saw an ad on Facebook and I got the C-IMT Test for myself and my husband, it was such an easy process. And a great gift idea for family. It was really fun to look at the results and good to know I need to work on my health.

Frequently Asked Question
What is a C-IMT scan?
A C-IMT Scan is a non-invasive procedure that uses ultrasound technology to measure the thickness of your carotid arteries' walls. These arteries, located on each side of your neck, supply blood to your brain. Over time, plaque can build up in these arteries, causing them to thicken. This is often an early sign of atherosclerosis, a disease that can lead to serious conditions such as heart attacks and strokes.
Where do I go to get this scan?
For your quick, 15-minute appointment, simply head over to our facility located at 1414 South 600 West, Bountiful, UT 84010.
Who takes my test?
Dean Ence, an expert sonographer, will be handling your fast, no-pain test to figure out the 'age' of your arteries. This test checks how thick your artery walls are - thicker walls can mean inflammation. It's all simplified for you to understand easily. We also spot and show plaque, whether soft or hard, in your arteries. You get detailed pictures from the ultrasound for your records. Taking care of your health is our main goal!
How long does the C-IMT Scan and Report take?
The duration of the C-IMT scan can vary depending on various factors, like the complexity of the patient's condition. Typically, a Vasometric scan takes around 15 minutes to complete. The report is done and delivered within 24 hours to you.
Will my insurance cover this C-IMT Scan?
Most insurance providers don't cover the cost of this scan. However, most hospitals are around $800 a scan, but we are only charging $199!
Hospitals often inflate prices due to the complex nature of their billing systems and agreements with insurance companies.
