REDUCING STRAIN ON THE HEART

NT-proBNP blood test

PH-ILD can put strain on your heart. NT-proBNP is a measure of strain on the heart and can be detected by a blood test. Your doctor can check your NT-proBNP levels over time to see how the strain on your heart may be changing. If the numbers are higher, there is more strain on the heart; if the numbers are lower, there is less strain on the heart.

TYVASO has been shown to reduce strain on the heart

At week 16 of the clinical study, patients who took TYVASO had less strain on the heart (NT-proBNP decreased by 15%), while patients who took placebo had more strain on the heart (NT-proBNP increased by 46%).
