Book a Test- NT- Pro BNP

N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a protein that is produced by the heart in response to strain or stress. It is a biomarker that is used to diagnose and monitor conditions such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, and cardiac arrhythmias. When the heart is under stress, it releases more NT-proBNP into the bloodstream, where it can be measured. Elevated levels of NT-proBNP in the blood can indicate that the heart is working harder than normal, which can be a sign of an underlying cardiac condition. The test is often used in conjunction with other diagnostic tests, such as echocardiography and electrocardiography, to confirm a diagnosis and monitor the effectiveness of treatment. NT-proBNP testing is a valuable tool for healthcare providers to diagnose and manage cardiovascular disease, and to improve patient outcomes.
