Q: hi i would like to know what does that means please b-type natriuretic peptide (bnp) (final result) = <10?

No Heart failure.: Not sure why they did it.. But it says you likely are not having heart failure.

Q: bnp test 88. normal is under 125. but my last reading 7 months ago was 33. does that mean i am getting heart failure?

No: The variation you described is not clinically meaningful. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Q: bnp 148 to 305. troponin 1 - 2.004 to 1.184. does this mean patient had a mild heart attack? patient has 3 tripple vessel disease.

Lab tests: Making statements purely on the basis of lab tests is fraught with risk. You should discuss this patient with the patient's Doc who has the complete picture to get a more informed answer from having more information about the patient.

Q: what do high levels of bnp indicate?

B naturetic peptide: Elevated levels often correlate with clinical deterioration in congestive hart failure.

Q: my pro bnp is elevated greater than 1200?

Heart problems: Probnp is released by the ventricular muscle when there is extra strain upon the muscle, such as in cases of decrease heart function (left or right side). Why was this test drawn? One may ideally have an appointment with a cardiologist, including an echocardiogram and ecg.

Q: what is the differance between anp and bnp ?

Check out these: Links.Anp is secreted or produced in the atriumn of the heart while bnp is secreted in the ventricles. Both are secreted in response to increase blood volume and stretching of the heart muscles. As a result, the vascular resistance and blood pressure are decreased.

Q: what is the meaning of nt pro bnp value 3670?

Pro-bnp: this peptide is elevated in patients with volume overload and elevated pressures in the heart..it can also be elevated in patients with renal issues...you should be seen and examined by an expert in cardiovascular care if you have not been seen by one already

Q: my dadhas chf has a bnp of 3700. how bad is that.

Not helpful test: Bnp is a supplemental test. By itself it cannot tell how bad or good the condition of a patient is. That assessment is more of a clinical assessment which a medical professional can do.

Q: does a value 10 pg/ml good for bnp?

Any symptoms?: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, it is normal. Wish you good health!
