N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a substance produced in the heart and released when the heart is stretched and working hard to pump blood. Tests for NT-proBNP measure their levels in the blood in order to detect and evaluate heart failure and can help doctors differentiate between heart failure and other problems, such as lung disease. This test can also be an indicator of increased risk of recurring events.
