I'm really concerned about my dad. He recently had a TMT test, and it came back positive. But when they did the ECO and ECG tests, everything looked normal, and he hasn't mentioned any issues with breathing, whether he's running or walking. Can you help me understand why the TMT result was positive and what we should do next?

since tmt is positive,and echo and ecg is normal the causes of false positive tests could be due to electrolyte imbalances and also due to increased blood pressure .. could be the probable causes of tmt positive .Also a cardiologist opinion is advised

My ECG results came back, and I'm a little confused and concerned. It mentions 800 normal sinus rhythm, but also shows 861 Premature Ventricular Complexes and 302 TV1TV5. It finally says something about an abnormal ECG. Can you help me understand what these numbers mean and if there's something I should be worried about?
