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.
The BNP test is a heart failure blood test. It measures the level of a hormone in your blood called B-type Natriuretic Peptide. Your heart's pumping chambers - the ventricles - produce extra BNP when they can't pump enough blood to meet your body's needs. So if your BNP level is high, you probably have heart failure. The higher your BNP level is at diagnosis, the worse your heart failure is likely to be.
