BNP (brain natriuretic peptide) levels refer to the amount of a hormone that is produced by the heart in response to changes in blood pressure and volume, which is tested in the blood. Measuring BNP levels can be a very helpful diagnostic technique for determining the severity of heart failure and aiding in the selection of the best treatment strategy. Normal BNP levels vary depending on the individual's age, sex, and overall health status but are typically less than 100 pg/mL.
