NT-Pro BNP Test near me in Hooghly









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 Hooghly 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 Test measure?
An NT-Pro BNP Test measures the concentration of NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) in the blood. NT-proBNP is produced during the synthesis of BNP, a cardiac hormone, by the left ventricle of the heart. When heart failure develops or worsens, NT-ProBNP and BNP are released into the bloodstream. BNP 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 help assess stress on the heart and aid in the evaluation of heart failure.
