CMAT Heart, Nerve and Metabolic Test:
check the terrain healing depends on

CMAT (CardioMetabolic Assessment Test) bundles quick, painless Measura readings into one appointment, covering blood flow, the small nerves, the heartbeat and the makeup of your body. Its purpose is to surface hidden problems that slow repair and keep pain switched on.


A Measura assessment, performed at Regen.MD.

Tests are ordered only when the result will steer what happens next.

What is CMAT?

Quick, painless Measura readings bundled into one appointment, covering blood flow, the small nerves, the heartbeat and the makeup of your body.

What it does for you

It hunts for problems you cannot feel that hold repair back and keep pain switched on: sluggish blood flow to the legs, damaged fibers among the tiny nerves that run sweat glands, and a stress response that will not switch off.

Its role around regenerative treatment

Regen.MD starts from one premise: tissue heals only as well as the body around it allows. CMAT puts numbers on that terrain before a procedure is planned, and repeating it later shows whether the terrain has improved.

The experience on test day

Pressure cuffs around arms and ankles, small sensors clipped to the fingertips, and palms and soles resting on metal plates. No needles are involved.

Getting ready

Pick loose sleeves and loose pant legs. Skip coffee, energy drinks and nicotine for several hours ahead.

Flag these for us beforehand

  • A pacemaker
  • Pregnancy

Time involved

Budget about 30 to 45 minutes. You get a start time when it is booked.

What to remember

  1. No needles, no pain.
  2. A few hours free of caffeine and nicotine first.
  3. It gives the terrain a number.

Show us you have it: Before you go, tell us what you will skip, and for how long, before the test. If a point is fuzzy, say so and we walk through it again with you.
