Hello!
Welcome on - Ask a Doctor - service!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that Duke treadmill score (DTS) is an index used to provide an accurate diagnostic and prognostic information for the evaluation of patients with suspected coronary heart disease.
A value of DTS = 7 means a low risk (not high) for coronary artery disease, that is a low probability of dangerous 1-year cardiac complications and coronary stenoses presence.
So, this is a good news. Anyway it is necessary that this exercise cardiac stress test result be correlated with clinical symptomatology and other performed cardiac tests.
Hope to have clarified your issue of concern,
In case of any further questions, feel free to ask me again.
Kind regards,
