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.
A stress test can determine if you have heart disease. A doctor or trained technician performs the test. Heâll learn how much your heart can manage before an abnormal rhythm starts or blood flow to your heart muscle drops. There are different types of these. The exercise stress test -- also known as an exercise electrocardiogram, treadmill test, graded exercise test, or stress EKG -- is used most often. It lets your doctor know how your heart responds to being pushed. Youâll walk on a treadmill or pedal a stationary bike. Itâll get more difficult as you go.
