FAQS
What are the indications for a TMT test?
TMT is commonly used to evaluate chest pain, suspected coronary artery disease, exercise tolerance, arrhythmias, and cardiac rehabilitation progress. It helps assess heart function during exertion.
What are contraindications for TMT?
Contraindications include recent myocardial infarction, unstable angina, severe aortic stenosis, uncontrolled arrhythmias, and severe hypertension. Patient safety must always be prioritized.
What is the Bruce Protocol?
The Bruce Protocol is a standardized method used in TMT where treadmill speed and incline increase every three minutes. It helps measure exercise capacity and cardiac response.
Why is ECG electrode placement important in TMT?
Correct placement ensures accurate ECG monitoring and prevents signal interference during exercise.
What is the recovery phase in TMT?
The recovery phase occurs after exercise stops, where ECG and vital signs continue to be monitored until they return to baseline.
