What Does Positive TMT Test Indicate?
Question: hi, recently i underwent a tmt test and the result came out as positive with a reading of 10.6 mts and a total exercise time of 9.19 minutes. what does this indicate?
Brief Answer:
Suggest ischaemic sign at 10.6MTS
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I went through the query and attachments & understood your concern.
Positive with a reading of 10.6 mts and a total exercise time of 9.19 minutes indicates that your heart started getting tired (difficult to perform its normal activity) due to ischemia(decreased blood supply to heart) with stress induced by increase in exercise in the form of running for 9.19 minutes, 10.6 METS (metabolic equivalents) and at maximum speed of 6.8miles/hour.
Exercise capacity measured in METS is a powerful predictor of cardiovascular events. Higher workloads achieved during exercise stress predict improved survival rate. A cutpoint of 10 METS achieved predicts low mortality and with you it has crossed 10.
So with the history of diabetes, hypertension , low HDL you should take care of your health with proper diet, regular exercise and regular medications.
I hope this information answered your concern and helps helps you. Feel free to ask if any further related query and I will be glad to answer them.
Wish you good health.
Regards

Brief Answer:
yes.can take protein and can go for gym(light weig
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It's a great initiative. But I don't prefer you to work for muscle building at gym. You can work to keep the tone of muscles with less weight. Should not target higher weights. Protein supplements can be taken. This won't affect your blood pressure.
Also brisk walk or jogging will help you in managing your blood pressure and also your health.
