What is B-TYPE NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE (BNP)?

The BNP test measures the level of B-type natriuretic peptide, a hormone produced by your heart. High levels can indicate that your heart is working harder than usual.

Why is this test important?

This test is vital for diagnosing and monitoring heart failure, as elevated BNP levels are a strong indicator of the condition. It helps doctors assess the severity of heart failure and guide treatment decisions.

How to Prepare
