Understanding Treadmill Test in Visakhapatnam


What is Treadmill Test in Visakhapatnam?

The Treadmill Test is a radiology procedure used to evaluate the function of the heart and its blood flow under physical stress. During the test, the individual walks or runs on a treadmill while their heart rate, blood pressure, and electrocardiogram (ECG) are monitored to assess cardiovascular fitness and detect abnormalities that may indicate heart disease or other cardiac conditions. It is available at an affordable price in Visakhapatnam with our partnered labs. 

TMT is done when symptoms suggestive of heart disease, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or irregular heartbeats, occur. It can be done in individuals with pre-existing heart conditions, in cases of risk factors such as high blood pressure or a family history of heart disease, or as a part of a presurgical assessment. The test can also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of cardiac treatments, assess an individual's fitness level before starting an exercise regime, or determine the appropriate exercise intensity for cardiac rehabilitation.

Avoid heavy meals for at least 2 to 4 hrs and caffeine (coffee, tea, energy drinks) and nicotine (cigarettes) for several hours before the test. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or have any pre-existing medical conditions such as heart disease, asthma, or diabetes, and also tell about all the medications or supplements that you are currently taking.

What does Treadmill Test measure?

The Treadmill Test measures several key aspects of cardiovascular function during exercise. Primarily, it assesses how well the heart responds to physical stress by monitoring changes in heart rate, blood pressure, and electrical activity (ECG) throughout the test. These measurements provide valuable insights into the heart's ability to supply oxygen-rich blood to the body during increased activity. The test also assesses exercise tolerance and detects any irregularities in heart rhythm. It can identify signs of reduced blood flow to the heart muscles, which may indicate coronary artery disease or other cardiovascular conditions. By observing these parameters, healthcare providers can make informed decisions regarding the patient's cardiac health. They can recommend appropriate treatments or lifestyle modifications. Additionally, they can determine safe levels of physical activity.
