Abstract
The present disclosure demonstrates a method for predicting the risk of stroke of a subject and a method for improving the prediction accuracy of a clinical stroke risk score. The methods are based on the determination of the amount of Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and/or the amount of Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) in a sample from a subject. Moreover, disclose is the use of i) the biomarker Ang-2 and/or the biomarker IGFBP7, and/or ii) at least one detection agent that specifically binds to Ang-2 and/or at least one detection agent that specifically binds to IGFBP7 in a sample from a subject for predicting the risk of stroke of said subject.
