TMT (Treadmill Test) and ECHO (Echocardiography) are essential tools in cardiac diagnostics. The TMT assesses how your heart responds to exertion, helping identify potential issues like coronary artery disease. As you walk on a treadmill, your heart rate, blood pressure, and ECG are closely monitored, providing valuable insights into your cardiovascular health. This non-invasive test is pivotal for those experiencing symptoms like chest pain or those with a family history of heart disease, allowing early intervention and management.
Echocardiography, or ECHO, complements the TMT by providing detailed images of the heart’s structure and function. This ultrasound-based test is crucial for assessing heart conditions such as valve disorders, heart murmurs, and heart failure. ECHO uses sound waves to create real-time images, enabling our cardiologists to observe the heart’s chambers, valves, and blood flow patterns. Together, TMT and ECHO offer a comprehensive view of heart health, guiding treatment plans and promoting proactive cardiac care.
