What is the NT-Pro BNP Test?
The NT-Pro BNP test measures the level of N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide in the blood, a substance released by the heart in response to changes in pressure that occur when heart failure develops or worsens. This test helps in the diagnosis and monitoring of heart failure and other cardiac conditions. Elevated NT-Pro BNP levels may indicate heart stress or damage.

Purpose of the NT-Pro BNP Test:

1. Diagnosis of Heart Failure:
   Helps diagnose or rule out heart failure in people with symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, or swelling in the legs.

2. Monitoring Heart Failure:
   Assesses how well heart failure treatment is working by measuring changes in NT-Pro BNP levels over time.

3. Assessing Risk of Cardiovascular Events:
   High levels of NT-Pro BNP can indicate a higher risk of complications, such as heart attacks or strokes, even in individuals without heart failure.

When is NT-Pro BNP Recommended?

• Heart Failure Symptoms:
  For individuals experiencing symptoms such as breathlessness, chest pain, or fatigue, the test helps identify whether these are related to heart failure.

• Monitoring Heart Conditions:
  For patients already diagnosed with heart failure or other heart conditions, the test monitors the progression of the disease or the effectiveness of treatments.

• High-Risk Individuals:
  Those with a history of heart disease or high cardiovascular risk may undergo the test to assess potential heart strain.

Sample Type:
Blood sample (Serum 3ml).
