The Heart Clinic Aundh

TMT is the abbreviation for Treadmill Test. The TMT Testing takes into account, the measurement of the blood circulation inside the body (blood pressure) when a patient walks/runs on a treadmill. TMT Testing helps to determine the impact which a physical stress can have on your heart. The test is conducted to find out how efficiently your heart responds when you’re made to exercise in a cloistered environment. The test is performed on OPD basis and requires no hospitalization.

Why TMT?

A TMT is performed to ascertain the following conditions.

To identify a congenital heart problem like Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) wherein blood vessels/arteries get clogged, diseased or damaged
To determine the functioning of your heart post a heart-attack or angioplasty
To detect repressed heart conditions like shallow breathing, dizziness, chest discomfort and abrupt bodily weaknesses
To monitor the efficacy of medications applied to cure diseases such as angina and ischemia
To discern any abnormal heartbeat rate because of exertion caused by exercise

Who Should Undergo?

A treadmill stress test is helpful for patients who:

Are suspected of having a cardiovascular issue due to the presence of some symptoms
Have a family history of chronic heart diseases
Chronic or long-time smokers
Are taking heart medications
Have an existing heart condition
Have hypertension, high cholesterol problems, and diabetes

What it includes?

The cardiac stress test involves several elements, which can help reveal a blockage in several ways:

Electrocardiogram (ECG): These same effects alter not only the heart rate but the heart rhythm as well. With CAD, the changes are characteristic and may be identified with an ECG.
Blood oxygen level monitoring: When the blood flow is obstructed (a condition known as ischemia), the amount of oxygen delivered to the heart and carried from the lungs is decreased.
Pulse and blood pressure monitoring: When the blood flow is partially obstructed by plaque, the heart has to work harder to pump blood through the narrowed vessels.

What are the Risks?

an allergic reaction to the dye, in a nuclear stress test
abnormal heart rhythms, but these usually end when the test does
Unstable angina not yet stabilized with medication
flushing or chest pain
