Stress Testing for Heart Performance

The Treadmill Test (TMT) evaluates how the heart performs during physical exertion by monitoring ECG and blood pressure while exercising.

• Detect coronary artery disease

• Identify exercise-induced symptoms

• Assess cardiac fitness

• Individuals with diabetes or hypertension

• Pre-employment fitness evaluation

Test Procedure

The patient walks on a treadmill with gradually increasing speed while heart activity is monitored.
