Duke Treadmill Score: Prediction Of Coronary Heart Disease In A Patient With Chest Pain Undergoing A Treadmill Stress Test  
  NOTE: This score is not applicable if patient is known to have CHD.  
  Exercise Test variables  
  Exercise Time - In Minutes - Standard Bruce Protocol min    
  Maximum ST deviation - In mm - At 80 msec after the J-Point mm (always a positive figure, no matter if positive or negative deviation)  
  Angina Score During Exercise      
  Duke Treadmill Score  
       
  Probability of Significant CHD probability of >75% stenosis in at least 1 coronary artery  
  Probability of Severe CHD probability of 3 vessel CHD or >75% LMS  
  5-Year Mortality  
       
  Overall risk subcategory

  ROC for predicting significant CHD = 0.76 for DTS, 0.91 for post-test DTS + Clinical score
