Treadmill Test (TMT) at maAx Super Specialty Hospital, Shivamoga

The Treadmill Test (TMT), also known as a cardiac stress test, is used to evaluate how the heart responds to physical exertion. At maAx Super Speciality Hospital, TMT is performed to assess heart function, blood flow, and rhythm during exercise.

By gradually increasing physical activity while monitoring the heart, doctors can identify signs of reduced blood supply to the heart or abnormal heart rhythms that may not be evident at rest.

When is a TMT Recommended?

A TMT may be advised when symptoms or risk factors suggest possible heart disease or to assess exercise tolerance. Common indications include:

  • Chest pain or discomfort during activity
  • Shortness of breath on exertion
  • Unexplained fatigue
  • Abnormal ECG findings
  • Suspected or known coronary artery disease
  • Assessment after heart procedures
  • Evaluation of fitness for physical activity or surgery
  • Monitoring response to cardiac treatment

What Conditions Can Be Evaluated Through TMT?

TMT helps in the evaluation of several cardiac conditions, including:

  • Coronary artery disease
  • Exercise-induced angina
  • Abnormal heart rhythms during exertion
  • Reduced exercise tolerance
  • Cardiac functional capacity
  • Effectiveness of cardiac treatment

    • The test provides valuable information about how the heart performs under stress.

How the Test Is Performed

TMT at maAx Super Speciality Hospital is conducted under medical supervision in a controlled environment.

Electrodes are placed on the chest to monitor heart activity, and blood pressure is measured throughout the test. The patient walks on a treadmill with gradually increasing speed and incline.

The test continues until the target heart rate is achieved, symptoms develop, or the doctor decides to stop the test. The entire process usually takes 15 to 30 minutes, including recovery time.

Safety, Monitoring, and Patient Care

TMT is a well-established and safe test when performed under medical supervision. Patients are closely monitored throughout the procedure

The patient is asked to breathe in and out through a mouthpiece connected to specialised equipment, following specific instructions. The tests are painless and usually completed within 20 to 30 minutes.

The test can be stopped immediately if symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, or excessive fatigue occur. Emergency support is readily available if required.
