The N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide is a hormone whose detection is used as a biomarker for the presence cardiac disease in dogs. Canine NT-proBNP is significant to the clinical veterinary setting, as increased levels in the blood are closely linked to canine heart failure and cardiomyopathy (1).
Recent studies show that the close tracking of the concentration of NT-proBNP in the blood of canines can be used to help determine and diagnose right-sided congestive heart failure (2). NT-proBNP measurement quantification facilitates the diagnostic process as its presence indicates a cardiac abnormality specifically. For example, research shows that NT-proBNP concentration in blood helps to determine whether primary respiratory tract disease or congestive heart failure is causing respiratory illnesses in canines (3). The measurement of NT-proBNP in canine plasma, when paired with additional factors such as a pressure gradient, can also be used to assess the intensity of pulmonic stenosis, as symptomatic dogs exhibit elevated levels of NT pro-BNP (4).
