The NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide) Test measures the levels of NT-proBNP in the blood, which is released by the heart in response to pressure changes. Elevated levels of NT-proBNP indicate potential cardiac issues, including heart failure. This test helps diagnose, assess the severity, and monitor the treatment of heart-related conditions. NT-proBNP levels tend to rise as heart conditions worsen and decrease as they stabilize, making it a vital tool for cardiac health management.

Elevated NT-proBNP levels can signify serious cardiac conditions such as heart failure, left ventricular dysfunction, or fluid overload. Early detection through this test can prevent complications like organ damage, chronic heart issues, or even life-threatening events. Individuals experiencing symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, or swelling in the legs and abdomen are at higher risk and should undergo testing to ensure timely treatment and better outcomes.
