Hello dear
I understand your concern
Your positive TMT result suggest induced ischemia.
In higher activity your heart do not get oxygenated blood.
There may be possibility of cardiac vascular disease.
I advise you to undergo TMT with thallium isotope and CT angiography to rule out the coronary artery disease.
If it will come negative then no concern is require.
But if it positive for cardiovascular disease then specific treatment like cardiac angiography is require.
Hope this may help you
