Duke Treadmill Score (exercise-test prognosis)

Duke treadmill score (Mark 1987): exercise time, ST deviation, and angina index mapped to a risk band and cited 5-year survival.

Open the calculator → Runs in your browser. Data leaves only if you deliberately send a problem report from the interactive tool.

Example

Exercise time
7 min
Maximal ST-segment deviation
1 mm
Exercise angina index
0 — no angina

Result: Duke treadmill score 2: moderate risk, 95% 5-year survival.

The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

What the result means

Risk / 5-year survival
Low >= +5 (99%); moderate -10 to +4 (95%); high <= -11 (79%).

What you enter

  • Exercise time (Bruce protocol)
  • Maximal ST-segment deviation
  • Exercise angina index (0 none, 1 non-limiting, 2 limiting)
How this is calculated
Formula
DTS = exercise time(min) - (5 x ST deviation mm) - (4 x angina index: 0 none, 1 non-limiting, 2 limiting).
