Abstract: A method and means for determining the risk of future cardiac ischemic events in a patient after a sentinel event in that same patient, wherein levels of acid glycoprotein and CK-MB are monitored relative to predetermined threshold levels, within a prescribed time frame after the sentinel event, and these monitored levels are then correlated with the predicted likelihood of future cardiac ischemic events to classify such cardiac patients into categories of risk.
