Claim Text:
1. A method of diagnosing the risk of a future myocardial infarction in an individual, the method comprising: measuring the level of each biomarker of a set of biomarkers in a sample from an individual, wherein each biomarker of the set of biomarkers is measured using a respective antibody that specifically measures the biomarker and the set of biomarkers comprises: calculating a risk score for the individual by weighting the measured levels of the biomarkers, wherein calculating a risk score comprises: transforming logarithmically the measured levels of the biomarkers to generate a transformed value for each measured biomarker; multiplying the transformed value of each biomarker by a biomarker constant to generate a multiplied value for each biomarker; and summing the multiplied value of each biomarker to generate the risk score; and using the risk score to identify a likelihood that the individual will experience a myocardial infarction in the future.
