TMT

A healthy heart plays a crucial role in keeping the body’s organs functioning smoothly. The major factors that affect heart health include increased stress among individuals and changes in their lifestyles and diets. Exercise ECG (electrocardiogram) or treadmill test (TMT), also called a stress test, is a test which is used to monitor the functioning of the heart in people who have diabetes, are at risk for heart disease, have a history of heart disease, or have undergone a procedure related to the heart.

The treadmill test (TMT) or cardiac stress test is used to determine how far your heart can go before abnormal heart rhythms or reduced blood flow to the heart muscle occur. Doctors use it to observe your heart’s response to being pushed to a certain extent. Walking on a treadmill gradually becomes more difficult as the difficulty level is increased. Heart health is gauged by monitoring ECG, heart rate, and blood pressure throughout the process. PIOS Hospital offers cutting-edge equipment and expert lab personnel to perform treadmill testing efficiently.

TMT is done for:

  • The assessment of patients with chest pain, prognosis and severity of disease, screening for latent CAD, and evaluation of therapy. 

  • Early detection of labile hypertension. 

  • Patients with CHF, Arrhythmias, Coronary Heart Disease and Valvular Disease are evaluated for their function and therapy.
