N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide test value of my mother is 3670. what does it mean? last year she had a heart attack and stenting.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BNP: again this peptide is elevated in patients with volume overload and suggests the possibility of decompensated congestive heart failure in the appropriate clinical setting..this number is elevated...your mother should be seen by a cardiologist
