The B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) Test measures BNP levels in blood to help diagnose and monitor heart failure and other cardiac conditions. High levels suggest the heart is under stress, often from congestive heart failure, hypertension, or heart disease. Doctors order this test for patients with shortness of breath, fatigue, or swelling. Results provide critical insight into heart function, guiding treatment and monitoring response to therapy.

The N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) Test measures levels of NT-proBNP, a marker released when the heart muscle is under stress. Elevated levels may indicate heart failure, left ventricular dysfunction, or other cardiac conditions. Doctors use this blood test to diagnose, monitor severity, and guide treatment of heart disease, while also helping distinguish cardiac from non-cardiac causes of shortness of breath and related symptoms.

The Heart Health - Comprehensive Panel provides an extensive array of tests designed to thoroughly assess various aspects of heart health. This panel combines markers of cholesterol management, inflammation, clotting factors, blood sugar levels, kidney function, and more to offer a holistic view of an individual's cardiovascular risk profile. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with a high risk of heart disease, those with existing heart conditions, or anyone interested in a detailed analysis of their heart health.

The Cardio IQ™ NT-proBNP Test evaluates levels of NT-proBNP in blood to help assess heart function and cardiovascular stress. High concentrations are associated with heart failure, left ventricular dysfunction, and fluid imbalance. This test provides insight into cardiac performance, systemic health, and conditions such as hypertension or other disorders that impact cardiovascular risk.
