Question 1

I've recently had a TMT test done and I'm trying to wrap my head around the results. The test summary says Total Time is 631, Max HR Attained is 184 bpm, and it's 96% of my target, which is 191. It also mentions Max BP is 190100 and Max workload is 7.6 with Bruce Protocol. My doctor said everything looks fine and that I shouldn't worry, but I just want to make sure all these values are normal. Could you help me understand if there's anything I should be concerned about or if it's all really okay?

Accepted Answer

Based on your TMT report showing 1mm ST segment depression, you may be experiencing myocardial ischemia. To manage your Severe Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus, as well as reduce the risk of further cardiac events, I recommend starting with antiplatelet therapy such as Aspirin 75mg daily to prevent blood clot formation. Additionally, a beta-blocker like Metoprolol 25mg twice daily can help reduce your heart rate and blood pressure, thereby decreasing the workload on your heart. Lastly, a statin medication like Atorvastatin 20mg daily can be beneficial in lowering cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of atherosclerosis progression. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
