The treadmill test, also known as TMT test or exercise stress test, involves walking or running on the treadmill. This
test is utilised to assess how effectively the heart responds when it is working harder than it does at rest. The TMT
test serves as a medical diagnostic tool, aiding in the evaluation of the heart function for individuals with various
health conditions that may predispose them to a higher risk of heart diseases.
Some of the common uses of the TMT test may include the following
