title: Exercise test as a physiological form of antepartum stress test.
abstract: Exercise test (ET) was repeated in 5-7 day intervals between 35 and 43 weeks of gestation in normal and high-risk pregnancies. The obtained FHR patterns were categorized according to their incidence in different clinical situations and correlated with appearance of amniotic fluid at amniocentesis and incidence of fetal distress in subsequent labor. Prospective meaning of ET is drawn for evaluation of utero-placental reserve and degree of umbilical cord pathology. Consistency and dynamics of FHR pattern is stressed out. Advantage of ET to OCT is discussed.
