NT-proBNP

This test measures NT-proBNP, a protein released into your blood when your heart walls are stretched or working too hard. It helps doctors evaluate how well your heart is pumping, especially if you have symptoms like shortness of breath or swelling in your legs. This measurement helps distinguish heart failure from other causes of breathing difficulties, such as lung issues. However, a high level does not identify the specific cause of the heart stress and must be reviewed alongside other heart exams.
