NT-ProBNP (Heart Failure & Cardiac Stress Marker) Blood Test in Malaysia
NT-proBNP is the gold-standard cardiac biomarker for diagnosing heart failure and cardiac strain. When the heart ventricles work under increased pressure or volume overload, proBNP is cleaved into active BNP and the stable marker NT-proBNP. Recommended for patients with shortness of breath, swollen ankles, hypertension, or suspected congestive heart failure. Specimen: 6ml Plain / SST Blood.
