Duke Treadmill Score is one of the tools for predicting the risk of ischemia or infarction in the heart muscle.[1] The calculation is done based on the information obtained from an exercise test by this formula:

[exercise duration by Bruce protocol] - [ 5 × (maximal ST elevation or depression)] - [4 × (treadmill angina index)]

In which, the exercise duration is written in "minutes" and the ST changes in "millimetres".[1] Angina index will be zero if no pain appears during the exercise, one if the pain is limited to the exercise period (typical angina), and two if non-limiting pain occurs which will be a reason to stop exercise test.[2][3]

One year mortality for the results of the Duke treadmill score in one study has been reported as:[4]

less or equal to -11: 5.25%
4 to -10: 1.25%
more or equal to 5: 0.25%
