Instructions for Use
Resting & Stress ECG with seca ct330/331 and seca diagnostic 5.9
Duke Treadmill Score
In order to display this value in seca diagnostic, some settings are
required, see 3.2.5 Extended ECG settings, p. 39.
Duke score = Test duration
- 5 * ST segment deviation - 4 * TAI
Explanations of the values in the equation:
→ Test duration: the duration of the stress test in minutes
→ ST segment deviation: maximum net ST segment deviation in
millimetres. ST deviation refers to the maximum ST change
(elevation or depression) in each lead except the aVR lead
→ TAI is the Treadmill Angina Index:
→ 0: no angina pectoris/pain
→ 1: Typical angina pectoris (pain that is limited to the period of
exertion)
→ 2: Training canceled due to angina pectoris

Beat identification
Beat detection in seca diagnostic is performed using the VPB detection
algorithm by Kraft et al (2023): Kraft, D., Bieber, G., Jokisch, P., &

Detection Using Deep Neural Networks. Sensors, 23(20), Article 20.
