How Well Does Your Heart Perform Under Stress?
The Treadmill test (TMT) involves walking or running on a treadmill while the patient is connected to an ECG machine to monitor their heart rate, blood pressure and rhythm under stress.
Overview
The Treadmill test (TMT) involves walking or running on a treadmill while the patient is connected to an ECG machine to monitor their heart rate, blood pressure and rhythm under stress.
Why it matters
It helps doctors identify heart conditions that may not appear while resting, such as arrhythmias, coronary artery disease (CAD) or reduced blood flow during physical strain.
Who needs it
Anyone who is experiencing unexplained chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or who is at risk for a heart disease may have to take this test. It is also used to check heart health before or after heart surgery.
How to Prepare
Wear comfortable shoes and clothes that make walking or running easy. Avoid smoking or eating heavy meals, caffeine, or alcohol for at least 2-3 hours before the test. Discuss your ongoing medication with the doctors.
When Should You Count on this Test?
A TMT helps doctors plan the best course of action to treat heart problems by testing heart performance during exercise and stress.
- Before starting a new exercise routine or intense physical activity
- Experiencing unexplained chest pain or discomfort
- Known family history of heart diseases or risk factors
- Preparing for or recovering from heart surgery or cardiac rehab
- Shortness of breath during physical activity
