Is Your Heart Just Stressed or is it Serious? The Role of Holter Monitoring and TMT at Our Baruipur Centre

Sometimes you may experience a racing heart; you may also feel chest discomfort intermittently. Is it due to stress or is it indicative of a more serious condition? This thought is certainly unsettling for many, and the Accuhealth Baruipur can provide answers. Heart-related symptoms tend to be vague and uncertain; daily stress can simulate serious heart conditions. How can you differentiate between the two? Do not overlook these symptoms: research has shown that an appropriate cardiac medical assessment through specialized cardiac testing will offer you exact assurance of your current condition(s). The Accuhealth Diagnostics Baruipur centre has the means to conduct high-quality cardiac testing, including two major types of cardiac testing, a Holter Monitor and a Treadmill (TMT) Test. Each of these tests plays a critical role in keeping your heart and vascular system healthy. Let’s explore the important aspects of these two important cardiac tests.

Treadmill Test and Heart Health Check 

The Treadmill Test (TMT) measures how well your heart responds to stress. It tests how your heart performs under physical stress by having you exercise on a treadmill while increasing the speed and the incline at a steady pace. Throughout the whole test, your heart’s electrical activity is being monitored continuously and your blood pressure and breathing are monitored closely as well. In this test, you will be able to assess whether there are limitations to blood flow through your coronary arteries. Often, coronary arteries can become narrowed without the individual being aware of it for years, while at rest, your coronary arteries may be able to provide ample blood flow, but during exercise, the coronary artery may not be able to provide sufficient blood flow, which can lead to ECG changes or symptoms. Thus, a positive TMT result may indicate there is the risk of developing a blockage in the coronary arteries. Therefore, TMT is very important for both prevention and diagnosis of coronary artery disease. At Baruipur AccuHealth we conduct TMT with the highest standard of safety. At all times a trained cardiologist and technicians will supervise the test and emergency equipment is always close by if needed.
