NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type Natriuretic Peptide) is released by the heart when it is under stress or working harder than normal. Elevated levels strongly suggest heart failure and correlate with its severity. This test is especially useful for evaluating unexplained shortness of breath — distinguishing cardiac causes from pulmonary ones — and for monitoring the effectiveness of heart failure treatment over time.
