Should The Hair On The Chest Be Waxed Before A TMT?
is it necessary that hair on the chest be removed before going for tmt test. my husband aged about 40 got two different results . it was proved positive when tested with out hair removal.and after one week tested in another hospital after hair removal it has proved negative.he has no symptoms as such he had just gone for general health checkup
Hi, Chest hairs if excessive are generally shaved before going for TMT as presence of hair alters the TMT result due to conduction problem. So the test with hair removed is considered true & final. Thanks
