Last week when I was at emergency for tachycardia and atrial flutter, they did a Brain NT Pro BNP test. My value was 540. I didn’t even know about this test after I was discharged. No one discussed about it
I checked online and it said it measures heart failure which made me worry very much
Yesterday they rechecked it and it 420. It is coming down
Can anybody tell me if BNP goes up during atrial flutter or atrial fibrillation or it indicates heart failure. I have an appointment with EP in 2 weeks but any input would be great
Thanks
