TMT

What is a TMT?

A treadmill test (TMT) or cardiac stress test helps determine how far your heart can go before an abnormal rhythm or blood flow to the heart muscle drops. It helps your doctor know how your heart responds to being pushed.

Why is the TMT Test done?

TMT determines the performance of the heart in strenuous situations. The primary purpose of doing a TMT is to diagnose any cardiovascular disease. The following are the reasons why the TMT test is done:

• Diagnose heart arrhythmia:- Since TMT helps monitor ECG, it helps diagnose if you have a heart arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat.
• Confirm coronary artery disease:- The TMT result helps determine the percentage of heart blockage and diagnose coronary heart disease.
