What to expect during the test
Small ECG electrodes are placed on your chest, and you walk on a treadmill that gradually speeds up and inclines while your heart rate, rhythm and blood pressure are watched closely. It usually takes 15 to 30 minutes including preparation and recovery. Wear comfortable shoes and clothing, and avoid a heavy meal just before. The test is stopped the moment it needs to be — your safety is monitored at every stage.
When is a TMT advised?
A TMT is commonly advised when you have chest discomfort or breathlessness on exertion, to screen for reduced blood supply to the heart, to check fitness before starting vigorous exercise, or as part of a preventive check if you have risk factors like diabetes, high BP or a family history.
