Understanding NT-Pro BNP in Jodhpur

What is NT-Pro BNP in Jodhpur?

An NT-Pro BNP test measures the level of a hormone called N-terminal pro-Brain-natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in the blood. This hormone is released by the heart in response to stress or strain, particularly when the heart is not pumping effectively, as seen in conditions like heart failure. Available at an affordable price in Jodhpur with Tata 1mg Labs, this test helps diagnose and manage heart-related conditions, such as myocardial infarction (heart attack), coronary artery disease(CAD), etc. 

Your doctor may advise this test if you exhibit symptoms of heart failure or in case of risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, medical or family history of heart disease, etc. An NT-Pro BNP test is also done in combination with other cardiac tests, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) or echocardiogram, to comprehensively evaluate your heart health. No fasting is required for this test. You can eat or drink normally, as per your daily routine.

What does NT-Pro BNP measure?

An NT-Pro BNP test measures the concentration of NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) in the blood. It is a cardiac hormone secreted from the left ventricles (the organ's main pumping chamber) and helps to regulate blood volume. When heart failure develops or worsens, the heart muscle cells produce NT-Pro BNP, which is released into the bloodstream. It helps alleviate the condition by relaxing the blood vessels, reducing fluid volume, and reducing the heart's workload.

NT-Pro BNP concentration in the blood increases in heart failure and other diseases that affect the heart and circulatory system. Measuring the levels of NT-Pro BNP can provide insight into your heart’s current health and functioning.
