Total Time :9:23 mins,acheiving a work load of MAX METS 10.60.The resting heart rate was 75bpm rose to a maximal hear rate of 169bpm.This value represents 94% of the maximal.The resulting blood pressure of 110/80 rose to a maximal blood pressure of 160/80 mmHg. The excercise was stopped due to THR achived.
Summary : Resting ECG:normal.Functional Capacity:normal.HR response to excercise:appropriate.BP Response:normal,resting BP:appropriate response,Chest pain:none,Arrhythmias:none,ST Changes:Depression horizontal. Overall Impression : postive stress test suggestive of ischaemia

Hello,
Positive TMT means that you have a compensated heart circulation and this could lead to angina or heart attacks in future if left untreated. This can be identified by symptoms like palpitation, sweating or chest pain during stress testing, ECG changes like T wave inversions or ST depressions that indicate ischemia sometimes associated with changes in the heart rate and blood pressure. You should go for further investigations like echocardiogram and angiogram to see what type of treatment is needed. Hope this helps.
