TMT stress test is a process of nuclear imaging for evaluating the flow of blood to the muscle of your heart. Medimaa makes use of the TMT stress test for helping to diagnose CAD, a common heart disease. It takes place when the arteries that are responsible for supplying blood to the heart muscle get narrowed or blocked. It leads to chest pain, heart attack, breath shortness, and several other symptoms. This test helps us to understand if you have CAD and the severity it possesses. This test is conducted in 2 stages- a testing stage and an exercise stage.
A stress test helps us to understand how well your heart can handle exercise. It shows that there is enough blood flow to the heart during exercises.
If you have CAD, the plaque buildup narrows your arteries. It limits the oxygen and blood amount reaching the muscle of your heart.
