Abstract
Methods of determining the risk of an adverse cardiovascular event or death in a mammal are provided which include determining in a biological sample obtained from the mammal the level of a combination of biomarkers selected from a glucose metabolism biomarker, a heart function biomarker, a renal function biomarker and at least one biomarker of cardiac injury. A score is allotted based on the level of each biomarker, and the cumulative score is indicative of the risk of an adverse cardiovascular event.
