A novel method for detecting the concentration of a metabolite in a fluid
sample is provided. Devices for the detection of the analyte are also
provided. In particular, a device for determining the concentration of
11-dehydro thromboxane in a urine sample and comparing it to a set of
standardized quartile concentrations is provided. A concentration of
urinary 11-dehydro thromboxane that falls within the fourth quartile is
indicative of a greatly increased risk of a recurrent cardiovascular
event.
