What Does This Test Check?

This test measures BNP, a hormone the heart releases when it is under strain, making it a marker used to help assess heart function and fluid load.

A single test fills this page, the Bluecrest Wellness Advanced Heart Risk BNP test at £125. With no second provider or price to compare, the decision is whether a focused measure of heart strain is worth it to you.

A raised BNP may indicate the heart is working harder than usual, but it is not a heart attack test and the result should be interpreted by a GP in the context of your symptoms.
