At Uniscan Diagnostics, we provide advanced Treadmill Stress Testing (TMT) to evaluate heart health and its response to physical exertion. This non-invasive test is a vital tool for diagnosing and managing cardiovascular conditions, helping ensure your heart remains in optimal condition.

What is a Treadmill Stress Test?

A TMT, or Exercise Stress Test, monitors the heart's activity while you walk or run on a treadmill. By simulating physical stress, the test helps identify how well your heart performs under increased workload, providing critical insights into your cardiovascular health.

When is a TMT Recommended?

Your doctor may recommend a TMT for:

• Evaluating symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath.
• Diagnosing coronary artery disease or other heart conditions.
• Assessing the effectiveness of treatments or medications.
• Determining safe levels of physical activity.
• Monitoring heart health post-surgery or intervention.

How is a TMT Performed?

1. Preparation: Electrodes are placed on your chest to record your heart's electrical activity.
2. Baseline Reading: Initial heart rate and blood pressure are recorded.
3. Exercise Phase: You walk on a treadmill with gradually increasing speed and incline.
4. Monitoring: Heart rate, rhythm, and blood pressure are closely monitored throughout the test.
5. Post-Test: After the exercise, readings are taken during recovery to assess how quickly your heart returns to normal.
