N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) analysis
This is an automated, plasma assay to detect the N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). Elevated BNP (B‐type natriuretic peptide) or NT‐proBNP (the N‐terminal fragment) values are associated with disease severity and prognosis in heart failure patients. This assay supports translational research studies.
