Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Positive TMT means there is chance of blockages in the arteries of the heart.It may be due to inadequate supply of oxygen (via blood flow) to the heart muscle occurring with physical or emotional stress.It suggests that there is demand-supply mismatch at high demand levels for blood supply to the heart.
However,there are chances of false positive results.
You need clinical examination by a cardiologist.ECHO,Thallium scan and angiography should be done.
Angiography will exactly assess the status of coronary arteries.

Proper treatment depend upon investigation reports

Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
