BNP and NT-pro-BNP levels in the blood increase when heart failure symptoms worsen, and decrease when the heart failure condition is stable. The test is able to detect heart failure over 80% of the time. BNP and NT-pro-BNP levels in a person with heart failure -- even someone whose condition is stable -- are higher than in a person with normal heart function.
