AIA - TMT near me in Chennai

The AIA - TMT test, (treadmill test), also known as cardiac stress test is a radiology procedure used to evaluate how your heart responds to physical stress. It helps detect various heart conditions such as arrhythmias, etc., especially those that might not be apparent when the body is at rest. It involves walking or running on a treadmill while the heart's activity is monitored through an electrocardiogram (ECG). TMT is suggested when there are symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or irregular heartbeats, to assess overall heart health especially if there are risk factors such as high blood pressure (BP) or a family history of heart disease. Also, it can be done in individuals with known heart conditions such as coronary artery disease, etc., to assess the treatment response and disease progression, as a part of the presurgical assessment in older adults or those with existing heart conditions to evaluate the risk of complications during surgery. The AIA - TMT helps doctors make informed decisions about further treatment or lifestyle recommendations.
