Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT)

Having a CIMT test performed is not because anything specific is suspected, but rather because it's an opportunity for you to gain further insight into your cardiovascular health. CIMT testing allows you and healthcare providers to assess the health of your carotid arteries, which are important blood vessels in your neck that supply blood to your brain.

The BaleDoneen Method

The goal of The BaleDoneen Method is to find out if patients have arterial inflammation and if so, apply individualized treatment to extinguish inflammation to halt its progression with genetically guided, evidence-based therapies. The method is based on six dynamic elements, each of which is crucial for detecting and defeating cardiovascular disease.
