What does the NT-proBNP value say about my heart and why is it measured from 60?

NT-proBNP is a biomarker that provides information on the stress and function of your heart. It is released more frequently when the heart has to work harder, for example in the case of incipient or existing heart failure. The risk of structural and functional changes to the heart increases with age, which is why this marker becomes particularly significant from around the age of 60. An elevated value can be an early indication of a cardiac problem - often before symptoms such as breathlessness or loss of performance occur. Based on your result, you will receive a medically certified assessment and recommendations for further clarification or targeted support for your heart health.
