TMT is nothing but taking your ECG while you are walking on a TREAD MILL at various speeds and resistant. If Echo has shown valve expansion TMT will help you to know the exact condition of your heart and the chances of attack during stress full situations. Better than MD consult A CARDIAC SURGEON. GOOD LUCK

A lot of people suffer from valve issues that can be easily corrected. If I were your friend I would go take as many tests, or see as many Dr.s as asked to. So the cause of all this can be detected. These tests are designed to monitor changes in the heart under different activities, and or stress levels. Check this website it's very helpful.

He should see a cardiologist. If he's having something like mitral valve prolapse, it's not usually treated unless he's having symptoms. Get another opinion.
