TMT ( Treadmill test)

A treadmill test (TMT) or cardiac stress test helps determine how far a patient's heart can go before an abnormal rhythm or blood flow to the heart muscle drops. It helps the doctor to know how a heart responds on being pushed. It is generally used for people who have been experiencing chest pains or other symptoms of coronary heart disease. In this technique, the patient runs on a treadmill set on a specific speed. After this, the doctor takes the reading of the heart. TMT test for heart involves monitoring heartbeat, breaths per minute, and blood pressure. It is also known as the stress test. HOW IS IT DONE? The medical professional will first ask the patient to remove the clothes and wear the clinical gown and then the electrodes will be attached to the chest. Then. The patient will be asked to walk on the treadmill. The pace of the treadmill will increase slowly and gradually. Then the patients’ heartbeat, breathing rate, and blood pressure will be monitored while the patient walks on the treadmill. People are usually kept under observation for sometime after TMT to ensure that heartbeat and blood pressure come back to normal.💖
