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.
