<p>The present disclosure provides methods and markers for characterizing a subject's, particularly a human subject's, risk of having cardiovascular disease. The present disclosure also provides methods of characterizing a subject's risk of developing cardiovascular disease. In another embodiment, the present disclosure provides methods for characterizing a subject's risk of experiencing a complication of cardiovascular disease or major adverse cardiac event within 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, or 10 years. In another embodiment, the present disclosure provides a method for determining whether a subject presenting with chest pain is at risk near term of experiencing a heart attack or other major adverse cardiac event. The present methods are especially useful for identifying those subjects who are in need of highly aggressive CVD therapies as well as those subjects who require no therapies targeted at inhibiting or preventing CVD or complications of CVD.</p> |
