About the Test
This test measures NT-proBNP, a substance released by the heart when its walls are under strain or stretch. Higher levels can indicate that the heart is working harder than normal, which is why the test is widely used to help assess heart failure. It supports diagnosis in people with breathlessness or swelling and can help monitor known heart conditions over time.
What is it? A blood test measuring N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide, abbreviated NT-proBNP.

Understanding your NT-Pro B-Type Natriuretic Peptide results
