title: The value of an auditory stimulatory test in antenatal fetal cardiotocography.
abstract: One hundred auditory stimulatory antenatal fetal cardiotocographic tests were compared to standard non-stress tests in patients with pregnancy hypertension. The incidence of equivocal tests was significantly reduced. The A.S.T. is a simple and reliable test for assessing fetal heart reactivity in hypertensive pregnancy.
