BNP Test (Brain Natriuretic Peptide): If you have heart failure, you may have heard of a BNP test. Explore more about the uses of this blood test and learn how to interpret the results.

B-type natriuretic peptide measurement The initial primary use of measuring b-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is to determine the etiology of dyspnea in patients presenting to the emergency department.
