Stress TMT Echocardiography
What is Stress TMT Echocardiography?
Stress TMT (Treadmill Test) Echocardiography is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure used to assess how the heart functions during physical exertion. This test combines an exercise treadmill test (TMT) with echocardiography, which uses ultrasound to capture heart images in real-time. By evaluating the heart’s response to stress, it helps identify any underlying heart conditions that might not be visible when the body is at rest.
Why is Stress TMT Echocardiography Important?
Stress TMT Echocardiography is crucial for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD), assessing the heart’s ability to handle stress, and identifying potential risks for heart attacks. It helps doctors understand how well the heart pumps blood during exercise and detects any changes in heart function that might indicate a problem with blood flow to the heart.
How Does Stress TMT Echocardiography Work?
- Step 1: The patient begins walking on a treadmill at an increasing intensity, monitored for heart rate and blood pressure.
- Step 2: During the test, the echocardiographer captures live images of the heart, checking for any abnormalities in blood flow or heart function.
- Step 3: After the test, the images are reviewed to assess the heart’s performance under physical stress, helping to detect issues like narrowed arteries or irregular heart rhythms.
