Can a TMT test really detect heart blockages? Like, if my TMT test comes back negative, should I be concerned about blockages not being detected? Also, what if I have a blockage that's, say, around 10%would the TMT still show positive in that case? I'm just trying to understand how reliable the TMT is for these things.

If your TMT is negative, but you're still concerned about potential blockages or symptoms, its essential to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possibly more specific tests (like angiography) based on your risk factors and clinical symptoms.
