B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP)

Do you struggle with shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling in your legs, or difficulty exercising? These can be signs of heart problems. The BNP Test (B-type Natriuretic Peptide test) is a simple blood test that measures BNP, a hormone released by your heart when it’s under stress.

High BNP levels are often linked to heart failure and other cardiovascular conditions. By checking your BNP blood test results, your healthcare provider can better understand how well your heart is working and determine the severity of any heart dysfunction.

An NT-proBNP or BNP test plays an important role in diagnosing, monitoring, and managing heart failure. With this information, your provider can recommend the right treatment plan to improve cardiac health and help you feel better.

Taking a BNP test for heart failure is a proactive step toward protecting your heart, reducing risks, and supporting long-term wellness.
