Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP)

AL-Narjs , Riyadh - 12 KM

The Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) test measures the level of a hormone secreted by the heart when there is increased pressure or stretching in the ventricles. This test is used to diagnose heart failure, assess its severity, and monitor treatment effectiveness. Elevated BNP levels often indicate that the heart is struggling to pump blood efficiently, while normal levels suggest a healthy heart. This test helps doctors make accurate treatment decisions and monitor the progression of the condition.
