i am 49 yrs old, last month i had undergone TMT test. The report was positive. Six moth before also TMT done the it was nagetive. My question is that in a period of six month TMT became positve from nagative. now is it the starting of some cronary heart dease and what can revert back TMT to nagative by diet control. My height is 163 cm, weight 65kg.
Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor, TMT or stress test is an indicator of ischemia or blood deficiency in the heart. There are many factors that can change a negative test to positive in 6 months. Sometimes there is a slow cholesterol build up in the heart arteries that would have reached critical point only now. Or it could be stress. Or Blood pressure out of control. Or becoming sedentary when previously active. Rule out these possibilities, become active, avoid refined carbs, saturated fats, red meat. Eat plenty of vegetables and fruits. Regards
