Heart Health Tests

If you are worried about the health of your heart, this test for brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is for you.

Our hearts make certain proteins when they are under pressure which can measured with a Brain Natriuretic Peptide test. Levels of these proteins in your blood go up when your heart condition worsens and go down when it gets better

A BNP test will help you determine if you need medical attention for a heart condition or if you’re suffering from something else that has similar symptoms such as shortness of breath. Whatever it is, this will give you peace of mind that everything's under control or tell you it’s time to visit the doctor.

Your heart is the muscle at the centre of your circulation system. Each day, the heart beats around 100,000 times pumping blood around your body as your heart beats.

The blood carries oxygen to your brain and nutrients to all parts of your body. It’s the single most important organ in your body – so it makes sense to look after it properly.

Anyone who is concerned about the health of their heart should do this test on a regular basis.
