摘要 |
This invention relates to the area of cardiovascular disorders and specifically relates to methods of diagnostic tests using a combination of markers to predict an individual's risk for developing coronary artery disease (CAD) and related diseases, such as angina pectoris and peripheral vascular disease and, more particularly, to determine an individual's risk of myocardial infarction, death, and stroke. Exemplary biomarkers include C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrin degradation products (FDPs), Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP70), urokinase or urokinase receptor (uPA/uPAR), and/or anti-CMV antibody. |
