A simple ultrasound could predict the likelihood of experiencing an adverse cardiovascular event, such as a heart attack or stroke. Nurse practitioner Zachary Lott at Nexus HealthSpan performs the carotid intima-media thickness test to measure the thickness of the inner layers of your carotid artery. This quick, noninvasive test can help Zachary create a more comprehensive picture of your cardiovascular health and develop a plan to prevent a heart attack or stroke. Contact our Mission Viejo, CA office to learn more or schedule a CIMT test.
What Can I Expect From a CIMT Test?
Zachary Lott might recommend a CIMT test as part of your heart attack and stroke prevention plan. Zachary or a member of his team will perform your CIMT test. During your test, you will lie comfortably on an exam table with your head turned to the side while a thick gel is applied to the skin on your neck. A small microphone-like device called a transducer will be used to slide across your carotid artery. The ultrasound will gather images and measurements of the carotid artery. This test is not painful; patients can return to their normal daily activities after completion. Zachary may prescribe blood pressure or cholesterol-lowering medications, depending on your test results. He may also suggest ways to improve your diet and lead a more heart-healthy lifestyle.
CIMT Test Reviews
A+ - I had a WONDERFUL experience at Nexus. Zachary Lott was kind, informative, and answered all my questions without rush. And, reviewed previous images taken by a DIFFERENT technician at a different faculty and identified plaque that was not reported properly before. I will be bringing other family members to Nexus for QUALITY care and a plan to prevent further cardiovascular disease, and improve my overall health. I’m so happy I found Nexus. The right doctor and facility make all the difference.
Former Marine and Iraq war veteran, Zachary is the best money you can spend on preventative care. He spends ten times, maybe twenty times more time examining and communicating your blood results. He is well versed on every drug, plus alternatives, and can guide you to a longer life. Since all of his ancillary services like blood work and supplements are discounted, he pays for himself. Start with a CMIT that he is specially trained for. Low $$
Zach goes above and beyond any expectation I have had as far as medical care, time spent with patient, level of empathy, attention to detail. I can’t say enough positives.
Zachary Lott , very professional, kind, and understanding. Hears your concerns and finds the correct solutions. Definitely an expert in his field and knows what he is doing.
Amazing human being. Helped my parents look and feel better! Thank you!
