A TMT, or Treadmill Test, is a safe and simple way to check how your heart performs when it is made to work harder. Also called a Stress Test, this procedure helps doctors find out if your heart is getting enough blood during physical activity — like walking, running, or climbing stairs.
Why Is TMT Done?
Your heart might behave differently when you’re at rest compared to when you’re active. A TMT is recommended if you:
Have chest pain or shortness of breath
Have a history of heart problems
Need to check your heart fitness before surgery
Are starting an exercise program and want to know your heart’s condition
How the Test Works
During the test, you’ll walk on a treadmill that slowly increases in speed and incline. At the same time, your heart’s activity is monitored using electrodes attached to your chest. The test tracks:
Heart rate
Blood pressure
Electrocardiogram (ECG) readings
Any symptoms like chest pain or dizziness
The entire process usually takes about 30–45 minutes, and you’ll be monitored throughout for your safety.
What Does It Show?
A TMT can help detect:
Blocked arteries (coronary artery disease)
Irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
Poor blood flow to the heart
Exercise tolerance and fitness level
If the test shows abnormal results, your doctor may recommend further tests or treatments.
Safe, Non-Invasive & Informative
TMT is a non-invasive, painless, and cost-effective way to assess your heart’s health. It provides valuable insights without the need for surgery or injections.
