TMT stands for Tread Mill Test. It is a screening tool to test the effect of exercise on the heart.

In this test patient is made to walk on a treadmill and electrical activity of the heart is measured with an ECG, and blood pressure recordings are taken every few minutes. As per a standard protocol, patient is made to walk till target heart rate is reached, but if the patient develops chest discomfort or ECG changes the test is terminated.

• to evaluate for worsening angina
• to evaluate for coronary artery disease
• to identify rhythm changes that may occur during exercise
