CMAT is a set of quick, painless Measura checks of your blood flow, your small nerves, your heart rhythm and your body composition, done in one visit. It looks for hidden problems that slow healing and keep pain going, such as poor blood flow to the legs, damage to the small nerves that control sweating, and a nervous system stuck in stress mode.
Your physician orders this test. You only get it if it is ordered for you.
What is CMAT (CardioMetabolic Assessment Test)?
CMAT is a set of quick, painless Measura checks of your blood flow, your small nerves, your heart rhythm and your body composition, done in one visit.
How does it help?
It looks for hidden problems that slow healing and keep pain going, such as poor blood flow to the legs, damage to the small nerves that control sweating, and a nervous system stuck in stress mode.
What does it feel like?
Blood pressure cuffs on your arms and ankles, sensors on your fingers, and resting your hands and feet on metal plates. Nothing goes through the skin.
How do you get ready?
Wear clothes that let us reach your arms and ankles. Avoid caffeine and nicotine for a few hours before.
What should you tell us first?
- Tell us first if you have a pacemaker or are pregnant
How long does it take?
About 30 to 45 minutes.
What to remember
- Painless; nothing goes through the skin.
- No caffeine or nicotine for a few hours before.
- It looks for hidden reasons healing is slow.
Show us you have it: Tell us how you will get ready for the test. We go over it again at your next visit, and you can ask us to explain anything a second time.
