Duke Treadmill Score

The Duke Treadmill Score is a tool used to assess a person's risk of heart problems during exercise. It combines factors like the duration of time a person can exercise on a treadmill, their heart rate response, and any angina (chest pain) experienced during the test. The score helps doctors evaluate cardiovascular fitness and the likelihood of heart issues, guiding decisions on further testing or treatment. A higher score indicates better heart health, while a lower score suggests a higher risk of heart disease.
