Canine NT proBNP
N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), mainly derived from the ventricle, is a substance released by myocardial tissue when blood pressure and ventricular wall pressurerise. It is mainly used to evaluate myocardial function. Clinically, NT-proBNP is more stable,and higher concentrations are associated with higher heart disease severity.
