What is a Treadmill Test (TMT)?
A Treadmill Test (TMT) — also called an Exercise Stress Test — is a heart test that checks how well your heart works when it’s pumping harder during physical activity.
How it works:
- You walk (and later jog) on a treadmill while your ECG, heart rate, and blood pressure are continuously monitored.
- The treadmill’s speed and incline are increased in stages to make your heart work harder.
- Doctors watch for any changes in ECG patterns or symptoms that may indicate reduced blood flow to the heart.
- Continuous ECG & BP Monitoring
- Exercise-induced response check
