About Treadmill Test – TMT

A Treadmill Test, commonly known as TMT or an exercise stress test, evaluates how the heart responds to controlled physical activity.

Overview

What is a TMT?

During TMT, the patient walks on a treadmill while ECG activity, heart rate, blood pressure and symptoms are monitored.

The exercise intensity is gradually increased according to the testing protocol and the patient's ability.

Why is TMT Recommended?

It may be recommended to:

  • Evaluate exercise-related chest discomfort
  • Assess exercise tolerance
  • Investigate selected cardiac symptoms
  • Evaluate certain suspected coronary artery problems
  • Monitor selected cardiac conditions

What Can TMT Help Evaluate?

TMT can provide information about:

  • Heart response to exercise
  • Exercise tolerance
  • Selected exercise-induced ECG changes
  • Symptoms occurring during exertion
  • Certain abnormal heart rhythms during exercise

How is TMT Performed?

  • Baseline information is first recorded.
  • Electrodes are placed on the patient's chest and connected to an ECG monitoring system.
  • The patient begins walking on the treadmill. The workload is gradually adjusted while the healthcare team monitors ECG, heart rate, blood pressure and symptoms.
  • The test is stopped according to predetermined clinical criteria.
