Feline 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.
Specifications
Feline NT-proBNP Rapid Quantitative Test is a fluorescence immunoassay used along with Healvet 3000 analyzer for quantitative determination of fNT-proBNP concentration in feline serum or plasma specimen. The test is used as an aid to myocardial function diagnosis.
