explore and understand your cardiovascular health
Focused Diagnostic Imaging partnering with Vasolabs uses medical ultrasound to report and communicate cardiovascular health in a format you can understand, track, and improve. Your interactive online report allows you to:
See your Vascular Age! Inflammation thickens the arterial walls, we measure and report this information in easy to understand concepts.
Plaque is visualized. Soft or calcified, so you’ll see it all. Ultrasound pictures of each plaque are embedded for you to see and share with your provider!
Reports delivered to your email within 72 hours.
Testing is quick and easy! Individual patient scans take 15-20 minutes.
Track inflammation over time. Most patients return every year to track their cardiovascular disease. CIMT is well researched and responds to therapies to reduce your vascular age (inflammation).
Cardiovascular disease (CVd) claims more lives each year in the United States than all forms of cancer and Chronic Lower Respiratory Disease (CLRD) combined.
According to the American Heart Association, Heart Disease remains the No. 1 cause of death in the United States followed by strokes at No. 5, according to 2019 data.
Approximately every 40 seconds, someone in the United States will have a myocardial infarction.*
On average in 2019, someone died of stroke every 3 minutes 30 seconds in the United States.*
In 2019 in the United States, coronary heart disease (CHD) was the leading cause (41.3%) of deaths.* Attributable to Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) in the United States, followed by other CVD (17.3%), stroke (17.2%), high blood pressure (11.7%), heart failure (9.9%), and of the arteries (2.8%).*

How can you get ahead of this deadly disease?
The answer is Carotid Intima Media Thickness (C-IMT) testing--and you can get this unique, life-saving procedure today!
C-IMT provides a window into your vascular system, giving you a head start at beating heart disease.
Using ultrasound technology, this safe and painless procedure measures the walls of your carotid artery (the large artery in your neck) and predicts future cardiovascular events, including heart attack and stroke.
Focused Diagnostic imaging has partnered with Vasolabs to offer the most up-to-date testing methods based on the latest research, world class service, and simple, preventative recommendations to keep you healthy for years to come.
Americans spend more time and money on identifying the #2 killer of men and women– cancer–than we do on the #1 killer–heart disease… It’s time to focus on the #1 cause of death–and you can protect yourself with the help of your provider.
