The Duke Treadmill Score (DTS) is a weighted index combining treadmill exercise time using standard Bruce protocol, maximum net ST segment deviation (depression or elevation), and exercise-induced angina. It was developed to provide accurate diagnostic and prognostic information for the evaluation of patients with suspected coronary heart disease. The typical observed range of DTS is from -25 (highest risk) to +15 (lowest risk). A low DTS is actually better at excluding ischemic heart disease in women than men.
