Treadmill test or TMT is part of the stress test category that is conducted to evaluate the blood flow to the heart during periods of rest and controlled durations of physical pressure, typically exercises.
This test can detect and identify abnormalities in cardiovascular functions, thus confirming the presence or absence of coronary artery diseases (CAD).

Besides CAD, the treadmill test is also performed to evaluate the heart’s health especially after angioplasty or a heart attack.

It is a potent tool to detect blocked, damaged or diseased coronary arteries and is also helpful in decoding a myriad of cardiovascular symptoms including:

• Chest discomfort
• Shallow or laboured
• breathing
• Dizziness
• Sudden physical weakness
