Hi,welcome to HCM.
This test report can be fairly considered normal.An attainment of 85% of maximum heart rate is a good evidence of heart pumping capacity.A score of 10 METS also points to good exercising capacity of heart.An ST change of 1.9mm is not significant for coronary ischemia.Repeat TMT after 6 months.Have a healthy diet and regular physical exercise.Consult your cardiologist for further queries.
Thank you
