Heart failure is a serious condition where the heart is unable to pump blood effectively to meet the body's needs. It can result from various heart diseases and conditions, leading to a range of symptoms and complications. The body often releases substances to cope with the added strain on the heart, and one such substance is the N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP).
NT-proBNP is a biomarker produced by the heart in response to stretching of the heart muscles. Elevated levels of NT-proBNP in the blood can indicate heart failure or other cardiac conditions. The test measuring NT-proBNP levels helps assess the severity of heart failure, guide treatment decisions, and monitor the condition's progression.
