Calculation Logic

Max APHR

Patient Age

220 - Patient Age

90% of Max APHR (Target)   

(or custom value instead of 90)

Max APHR

Max APHR × 0.9

Note: This calculation can be configured to use a custom value instead of 0.9.

% of Max APHR

 

Max APHR 

Max Achieved

(Max Achieved ÷ Max APHR)  × 100

Duke Treadmill Score

Duration (min:sec) from Exercise section,

Max ST Deviation,

Angina Scale (0, 1, or 2)

Duration - (5 × Max ST Deviation) - (4 × Angina Scale)

METs

last Grade and Speed with a BP or HR entry

(hc + vc + 3.5) ÷ 3.5

hc = (speed × 26.8 × 0.1)

vc = [speed × 26.8 × 1.8 × (grade ÷ 100)]

Note: The calculation will use the HR and BP from the last stage in which all values are documented.

Double Product

Heart Rate (HR), 

Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) from last stage with both entered (not Rest)

(HR) × (SBP)
