<p>Thrombolytic therapy in the treatment of a cardiovascular event such as myocardial infarction (MI) carries with it a chance of suffering a hemorrhagic incident leading to severe disability and often death. Methods for the evaluation of proper therapy for a specific patient who has suffered a cardiovascular event employ a variety of bio-markers including cellular fibronectin (c-Fn) assembled as a panel for evaluation. Methods are disclosed for selecting markers and correlating their combined levels with a clinical outcome of interest. In various aspects the methods permit early detection of potential bleeding events, determination of the prognosis of a patient presenting cardiovascular damage, and identification of a patient at risk for hemorrhage when given thrombolytic therapy. The disclosed methods provide rapid, sensitive and specific assays to greatly reduce the risk of bleeding or the number of patients that can receive the most beneficial treatment for their cardiovascular event, and to reduce the human and economic costs associated with bleeding following such treatments.</p> |
