Is it possible you mean BNP?BNP is a hormone released by the heart when it is having difficulty pumping. A blood test determines the amount of BNP in your blood, and a high level indicates heart failure.Testing for BNP can help doctors determine if a patient's symptoms are because of heart problems rather than something else. For a patient with a known heart problem, BNP can show if heart failure is part of the condition.
