Cardiovascular Stress Test Using Treadmill
A Cardiovascular Stress Test using a Treadmill, commonly known as a Treadmill Test (TMT), is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that helps evaluate how well your heart functions under physical stress. It plays a crucial role in identifying potential heart problems that may not be visible when the body is at rest. This test is essential for diagnosing conditions like coronary artery disease (CAD), irregular heart rhythms, and exercise-induced high blood pressure.
What is a Treadmill Stress Test?
The Treadmill Stress Test is performed by having the patient walk on a treadmill while being monitored with an electrocardiogram (ECG). The speed and incline of the treadmill are gradually increased to put stress on the heart. Throughout the test, the heart’s activity, blood pressure, and symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath are closely observed.
Who Should Get a Treadmill Stress Test?
This test is recommended for individuals who:
- Experience chest pain, breathlessness, or palpitations
- Have a family history of heart disease
- Are planning to start a vigorous exercise program
- Have undergone heart surgery or angioplasty
- Are being evaluated for heart disease or arrhythmias
- Need clearance before major surgery
What Can the TMT Test Detect?
- Reduced blood flow to the heart (ischemia)
- Blockages in the coronary arteries
- Irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias)
- Blood pressure abnormalities during exercise
- Risk of heart attack or other cardiac events
