What Does The Report Say?
Hello Doctor, I recently did TMT and Interpretation is as below.
"Resting ECG:normal, Functional Capacity: normal, HR Response to Exercise: appropiate. BP Response to Exercise: resting hypertension - exaggerated response. Chest pain: none. Arrhythmisa: none, ST Changes: none, overall impression: Normal Stress Test
Conclusion: Good effort tolerance. Negative test for inducible ischemia."
I believe it is good report over all. However could you explain the meaning of exaggerated response.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for the report given here some time some slang words being used by the medical person but that does not directly related to some pathology or disease if the over all reports turned unremarkable and does not prove any pathological process then given importance to such words does not prove any thing , here the exaggerated response means the natural way of changes that happens during exercise like increasing the hear rate increasing breathing etc. hope this information helps you have nice day.
