NT-Pro BNP
This test measures N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide, a biomarker of cardiac stress and heart failure. Elevated levels aid in diagnosis, severity assessment, prognosis, and monitoring response to therapy in patients with suspected or known heart failure.
An NT-Pro BNP test measures NT-pro and BNP levels in the blood sample. NT-Pro and BNP are proteins made by the heart and blood vessels. The most common purpose of an NT-pro and BNP test is to rule out or diagnose heart failure. When the heart struggles to pump efficiently, it can lead to heart failure.
