NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro–B-type Natriuretic Peptide) is a biomarker released from heart muscle cells (ventricles) in response to increased wall stress, volume overload, or pressure overload. It is widely used to evaluate heart failure (HF).
The test can help in the cardiovascular risk assessment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.This test can be used to identify elderly individuals at high-risk for atrial fibrillation.

TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:

- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
