A BNP or NT-proBNP test may be ordered in a doctor's office when a person has signs and symptoms that could be due to heart failure. These may include: 1  Difficulty breathing, shortness of breath.  Fatigue.
BNP is a biologically active peptide of 32 amino acids and has vasodilator and natriuretic properties. BNP is cleaved from the 108-amino acid pro-brain natriuretic peptide released from the cardiac ventricles in response to stretching of the chamber. The second remnant after cleavage, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), is a 76-amino acid peptide with no known biological function which circulates at higher concentrations than BNP and may represent cardiac status over longer periods.
