At-home Heart Disease Assessment
At Home Arterial Health/Plaque Assessment
Today I want to discuss a cheap and easy way to assess your arterial health. Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) and Carotid Intima Media Thickness Test (CIMT) can be combined with the ABI to have a great understanding of your vascular health. ABI helps identify narrowing or stiffness of the arteries. Let's look at the process of testing yourself at home.
