Veterinary cardiologists at the AVMA Convention highlighted updated recommendations for using the NT-proBNP blood test to identify heart disease in cats.

Instead, NT-proBNP results are most effective when combined with a physical examination, medical history, imaging, and other diagnostic tests to provide a more accurate assessment of feline heart health. https://www.dvm360.com/clinical/feline-medicine?utm_source=chatgpt.com
