What is tmt for heart ?<\/span><\/h2>\n

TMT is short for treadmill test. Treadmill is a device used for exercise testing. The subject walks on a motorized belt, the speed and gradient of which can be adjusted. There are various protocols for treadmill testing. One popular protocol is known as the Bruce protocol in which the initial slope (gradient) of the treadmill is 10 percent and the gradient increases in steps of 2 percent in each three minute stage. The initial speed is 1.7 miles per hour. It increases to 2.5 miles per hour in the second stage. So on it goes up to stage seven or as much as the subject can tolerate. Now a days the test is computerized so that the speed and gradient of the treadmill is controlled by a computer console which also monitors the ECG of the subject and displays it. The computerized console also measures the various ECG parameters and displays alerts if necessary. The blood pressure is measured and entered in the console by the operator. The test is conducted in the medical setting by a trained technician with resuscitatory equipment at hand in case of any untoward events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
