Who should get N-Terminal Pro B Type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-Pro BNP) done in Jaipur?

Cardiovascular risk is high in Jaipur, driven by a traditional Rajasthani diet rich in ghee, sugar, and fried food, combined with sedentary business and government-sector work around C-Scheme, Civil Lines, and Malviya Nagar. Early cholesterol and blood-pressure screening is valuable from the mid-30s. Regular cardiac testing is recommended for patients on statin therapy (to confirm LDL has reached the treatment target), post-cardiac event patients (to monitor secondary prevention), people with type 2 diabetes (which doubles cardiovascular risk), and anyone with persistently elevated blood pressure.
