TMT Test

TMT Test 

Treadmill testing, often known as TMT, is a type of stress test that is used to assess blood flow to the heart during periods of rest and controlled periods of physical exertion, such as exercises.


This test can detect and identify irregularities in cardiovascular functioning, indicating whether or not coronary artery disease (CAD) is present.


Apart from CAD, the treadmill test is used to assess the health of the heart, particularly after angioplasty or a heart attack.

It's a useful technique for detecting blocked, damaged, or diseased coronary arteries, as well as deciphering a variety of cardiovascular symptoms, such as:


It's crucial to tell your doctor if you have any pre-existing diseases, such as joint problems or arthritis, and especially diabetes, because exercise causes blood sugar levels to fluctuate, which might affect the test's results.


The TMT begins on a treadmill at a slow pace while your heart rate is continuously monitored. To continue the test, the treadmill's pace is gradually adjusted to your comfort level.
