Individual tests

NT-proBNP is produced by the heart. An elevated NT-proBNP suggests that the heart is not pumping enough blood, known as heart failure or congestive heart failure. The test is used to diagnose or rule out heart failure. In patients with heart failure, testing helps assess disease severity, make decisions, and evaluate treatment effectiveness.
Cholesterol is a substance found throughout the body. Your body needs some cholesterol to work properly, but too much will block your arteries and lead to heart disease and stroke.
Triglycerides are a common type of fat that comes from food and consuming extra calories. Your body changes these excess calories into triglycerides and stores them in fat cells. When your body needs energy, it releases triglycerides. Very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol particles carry the triglycerides to your tissues. Having a high level of triglycerides can raise your risk of heart disease.
