CIMT Test and EndoPAT in Conshohocken, Near Philadelphia

A cholesterol number is a risk estimate. These tests look at the artery itself — what its wall is doing and what has already accumulated there.

Who this is for

Patients who want cardiovascular risk assessed directly rather than inferred from a lipid panel and a calculator.

A family history of heart disease or early cardiac events
Cholesterol flagged, with no clear picture of what it means for you
Metabolic markers drifting alongside cardiovascular risk
Erectile dysfunction, which can be an early vascular sign
Wanting a baseline before a longevity or performance program
A preference for measuring the artery rather than estimating from proxies

These are screening and assessment tools within a wider cardiovascular evaluation, not a substitute for cardiology care where that is what is needed.

What the program includes

CIMT ultrasound, in our office

A painless carotid artery ultrasound that measures artery wall thickness and looks for plaque. Jessica Brown performs it in our Conshohocken office. It is part of the $999 Enhanced Assessment.

EndoPAT, as an add-on

An in-office test of how well the lining of your blood vessels relaxes (endothelial function). It does not show plaque. EndoPAT is a $250 add-on to either assessment: arrive fully fasted, with no caffeine.

Read with your bloodwork

Results are interpreted alongside inflammatory, metabolic and lipid markers, because arterial change is downstream of those systems.

Part of Cardio Res-Q

CIMT comes with the $999 Enhanced Assessment, which also includes a coronary calcium score ordered at an outside imaging center. Both assessments include the full lab panel and a one-hour consult with Dr. Varano.

How this program runs

Cardio Res-Q Assessment — $775 or $999

Labs drawn about a week ahead, then a one-hour consult with Dr. Varano: advanced labs and the Quest cardiac panel ($775), or the Enhanced Assessment adding CIMT ultrasound and a coronary calcium score ($999).

YoungerMeMD membership — $279 / month

Optional. Unlimited messaging with your medical team and 3 to 4 optimization visits a year, in person or virtual.

Specialty Treatment Plan — $125 / month

Optional. Ongoing cardiovascular management: imaging monitoring when indicated, lipid and ApoB work, inflammation and metabolic care.

Full detail, and how to book, is on the Cardio Res-Q program page.

What we track

Where a baseline shows change worth acting on, testing is repeated so that the effect of treatment is measured rather than assumed.
