I seek advice concerning this high value.....

You asked before and you said that you didn't see a cardiologist. I don't understand why you haven't.
Not everything that goes wrong is because of prostate cancer.

Why do you suspect it has anything to do with ADT damage?

I read that ADT has effect on cardiac functioning ..
and increase in BNP
In Dec I asked Prof Cussenot ...Oncologist ..why BNP is 720 instead of 100....
He says not relevant....for me...do not worry!!!
On 22 avril Il will again ask him....
There is no evident reason
for high BNP...no breathing problem no fatigue no problem climbing hills..heart beat ok...around 55_60
First time I ever had BNP test was in Nov 2019...
I will see what Cardio says tomorrow...
Thanks for your reply
