Hi, Thank you for your query. TMT is a good test to screen for heart disease. However, it is not a gold standard and the patient needs to be further evaluated by doing an Echocardiography. If both Echocardiography and TMT is normal, then further test may not be required subject to normal clinical findings and your doctor's advice. So, I would advise you to get an Echocardiography done for your father and let me know the report.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
