Nineteen studies showed that elevated BNP levels in patients with heart failure are associated with an increased risk of death or cardiovascular events. 33 Pooled results from five studies showed that a BNP increase of 100 pg per mL caused a 35 percent increase in risk of death.
Tests for BNP and NT-proBNP measure their levels in the blood in order to detect and evaluate heart failure. BNP was initially called brain natriuretic peptide because it was first found in brain tissue (and to distinguish it from a similar protein made in the atria, or upper chambers, of the heart, termed ANP). BNP is actually produced primarily by the left ventricle of the heart (the heart's main pumping chamber).
