A contraction stress test is a test performed during pregnancy to verify whether or not the unborn babyâs heart is strong enough to withstand labor. It uses drugs or nipple stimulation to make the uterus temporarily contract in order to replicate labor contractions.
It is a stress test in which the patient walks on a moving treadmill while the heart and breathing rates are monitored. Treadmill test (TMT) or exercise stress test is one of the commonest forms of stress tests used to induce provokable myocardial ischemia for diagnostic evaluation of coronary artery disease. Other forms of stress test are dobutamine stress echocardiography and adenosine stress test.
