Background
NT-proBNP is a secreted protein which is a member of the natriuretic peptide family, which is predominantly secreted from the cardiac ventricles in response to volume and pressure overload. NT-proBNP is more stable than BNP in serum, and has become a useful biomarker of heart failure.Synonyms: BNP, Brain natriuretic peptide, Gamma-brain natriuretic peptide, NPPB, proBNP
