The NT-Pro BNP test measures BNP (B-Type Natriuretic Peptide) and NT-Pro BNP (N-Terminal) in the blood. When the heart is under stress, these chemicals are released into the bloodstream. A high quantity of these molecules indicates high blood pressure, heart failure, or other acute heart problems.

This test is suggested after a heart attack or for anyone being treated for heart disease. NT-Pro-BNP is normally below 100pg/mL. Any value above that is deadly. Abnormal test results necessitate immediate medical invention.

The heart's left ventricle secretes B-Type Natriuretic Peptide due to the stretching of the heart chamber during blood pumping. It relaxes blood arteries, allowing for better blood flow.

Why done? 

The Natriuretic peptide test (NT-Pro BNP) assists in identifying, diagnosing, and evaluating congestive heart failure severity (CHF).

Conditions include heart failure, asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction, hypertension (blood and lungs), cardiac hypertrophy, and valvular heart disease that elevate BNP levels. BNP can also be elevated in acute and chronic renal failure, liver cirrhosis, hyperaldosteronism, and Cushing's syndrome.
