BNP test

BNP test

I had a B-type Natriuretic Peptide test.  My result was 1619, over the standard range of less than 100.
Could KenKeith give me any information on how on this figure?  
Thanks,

As I understand, BNP indicates the stress that the cardiac muscle is suffering. Normally its elevation means that cardiac remodeling is taking place and is an indication of the progression of Heart Failure.

More than an individual value, its evolution is what it is relevant.
