CARDIO IQ(TM) NT-PROBNP
The Cardio IQ® NT-proBNP test is a blood test that measures the levels of a hormone called N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). This hormone is produced by the heart and is released into the bloodstream in response to changes in the heart's structure or function.
The Cardio IQ® NT-proBNP test is often used to help diagnose and monitor heart failure. When the heart is not pumping efficiently, the levels of NT-proBNP in the blood can increase, and this test can help doctors determine if heart failure is present, and how severe it is.
The test is also sometimes used to help diagnose other heart conditions, such as atrial fibrillation and pulmonary hypertension. However, it is important to note that this test is just one of several tools that doctors use to diagnose and manage heart conditions, and it should always be interpreted in the context of a patient's medical history and other diagnostic tests.
It is important to discuss the results of this test with your doctor, who can help interpret the results and develop an appropriate treatment plan if necessary.
