Introduction
Welcome to Dr. Mitt Kothari’s Cardiology Clinic, where we provide Stress Test (TMT) to help diagnose potential heart problems. A Stress Test (TMT) is a non-invasive, painless procedure that measures the heart’s ability to handle stress. It helps detect abnormalities in the heart’s electrical activity and is used to diagnose coronary artery disease, heart valve problems, and other cardiac conditions.
What is a Stress Test (TMT)?
A Stress Test (TMT) is a test performed to evaluate the heart’s response to physical exertion. During the procedure, patients walk on a treadmill or ride a stationary bike while their heart rate and rhythm are monitored. The test is designed to assess how the heart responds to increasing levels of physical activity.
Who Should Have a Stress Test (TMT)?
A Stress Test (TMT) is typically recommended for patients with symptoms of heart disease or those with a high risk of developing heart disease. It may also be recommended for patients who have had a heart attack, heart surgery, or procedures such as stents or bypasses.
What to Expect During a Stress Test (TMT)?
During a Stress Test (TMT), patients are connected to an electrocardiogram (EKG) machine, which will monitor their heart rate and rhythm. Patients will then be asked to walk on a treadmill or ride a stationary bike for a period of time. The speed and incline of the treadmill or bike will be increased gradually over the course of the test. The test will last for a few minutes, during which time the patient’s heart rate and rhythm will be monitored.
Conclusion
Dr. Mitt Kothari is committed to providing his patients with the best care possible. A Stress Test (TMT) is a safe and effective procedure for diagnosing potential heart problems. If you are experiencing symptoms of heart disease or have a high risk of developing heart disease, a Stress Test (TMT) may be the right choice for you.
