Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for predicting the survival time of a patient suffering from myocardial infarction or the recurrence of a myocardial infarction. The method comprises the steps of i) determining the expression level of BAFF in a sample from the patient, ii) comparing the expression level with a predetermined reference value and iii) providing a good prognosis of the survival time or a low risk of the recurrence of a myocardial infarction when the expression level is lower than the predetermined reference value and a poor prognosis of the survival time or a high risk of the recurrence of a myocardial infarction when the expression level is higher than the predetermined reference value.
