Treadmill Test (TMT) in Bangalore
The Treadmill Test (TMT), also known as the
cardiac stress test or exercise stress test, is a diagnostic
procedure that evaluates how your heart performs during
physical exertion. It helps detect underlying heart problems,
especially those related to coronary artery disease, which may
not be visible during rest.
"A Treadmill Test is one of the most effective tools to
assess how well your heart copes under physical stress and
to detect early signs of heart disease."
At our advanced cardiac care facility in Bangalore,
Dr. Basavaraj Utagi leads a highly
experienced team in conducting accurate and safe TMT
procedures. Our clinic is equipped with modern,
computer-assisted treadmill machines that continuously monitor
heart rate, blood pressure, ECG changes, and physical symptoms
during exercise.
What Does a TMT Evaluate?
-
Exercise Tolerance: Measures how much
physical activity your heart can handle before symptoms
or abnormalities appear.
-
Heart Rhythm & Blood Flow: Detects
irregular heartbeat or reduced blood supply to the heart
muscle during exertion.
-
Risk of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD):
Identifies blockages in the heart’s arteries based on
ECG changes under stress.
-
Effectiveness of Cardiac Treatments:
Helps evaluate recovery progress after bypass surgery,
angioplasty, or medications.
When is a TMT Test Recommended?
Detect Hidden Heart Issues
A TMT is recommended for individuals experiencing chest
discomfort, shortness of breath, fatigue, or suspected
angina, especially when resting ECGs are normal.
Preventive Heart Screening
It is ideal for patients with risk factors like
diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, or a family
history of heart disease, even if they’re asymptomatic.
