NT-ProBNP ( Measure of Heart Function ) Test in Bishops Storfford
The NT-proBNP test measures N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, a substance released by heart muscle cells when the heart is under pressure or strain. Rising levels indicate that the heart is working harder than normal, making this test one of the most effective screening tools for heart failure and cardiac stress. A simple finger-prick blood sample is all that is needed, with no fasting required.
Who Should Get Tested?
Heart failure affects over one million people in the UK, with 200,000 new diagnoses every year. Many cases go undetected until symptoms become severe. You should consider an NT-proBNP test if you experience persistent shortness of breath during activity or at rest, swelling in the legs, feet or abdomen, unexplained fatigue or weakness, a persistent cough (especially at night), or a rapid or irregular heartbeat. Those with a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or previous cardiac events are also at higher risk.
Understanding Your Results
| NT-proBNP Level | Status |
|---|---|
| Below 125 pg/mL | Normal heart failure unlikely. Maintain a healthy lifestyle and regular check-ups. |
| 125 to 450 pg/mL | Elevated possible early heart strain. Further investigation recommended. |
| Above 450 pg/mL | High strongly suggests heart failure. Urgent GP referral and further cardiac testing advised. |
NT-proBNP levels can also be used to monitor how well heart failure treatment is working. If treatment is effective, levels should decrease over time. Your clinic team will explain your results and advise on appropriate next steps.
