TMT or Treadmill Test is a cardiac diagnostic procedure used to assess how the heart responds to physical stress. During the test, the patient walks on a treadmill while heart activity is continuously monitored using ECG electrodes. The speed and incline of the treadmill are gradually increased to evaluate heart rate, rhythm, blood pressure, and oxygen response. TMT helps detect coronary artery disease, abnormal heart rhythms, and exercise-induced symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath. It is commonly recommended for patients with suspected heart disease, chest discomfort, or for fitness and treatment evaluation under medical supervision.
