Nineteen studies showed that elevated BNP levels in patients with heart failure are associated with an increased risk of death or cardiovascular events. 33 Pooled results from five studies showed that a BNP increase of 100 pg per mL caused a 35 percent increase in risk of death.
The BNP level in a person with heart failure - even someone whose condition is stable - is higher than in a person with normal heart function. To test the BNP level, a small amount of blood is taken and placed in a machine that detects the level of BNP in your blood. The test takes about 15 minutes. The BNP level helps to determine if you have heart failure, rather than another condition that may cause similar symptoms.
