Data on the power of high betatrophin to predict cardiovascular deaths in coronary patients.

Betatrophin is a protein which is produced by the liver and by adipose tissue. There are no clear data about serum betatrophin's cardiovascular role and it is unknown, whether betatrophin is associated with the risk of cardiovascular death. This article provides additional data on the association of betatrophin with its power to predict cardiovascular death in coronary patients. In addition, this data article demonstrates the performance of betatrophin as a biomarker using c-statistics. Analyzed data was derived from 553 coronary patients. Betatrophin was measured in serum samples and cardiovascular deaths were recorded for a median of 7.1 years. This data article is related to a research article titled "High betatrophin in coronary patients protects from cardiovascular events" [1].
