Objective: Endothelial dysfunction was widely regarded as the initial lesion in the multifactorial pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Serum endocan, a novel endothelial dysfunction biochemical marker, is involved in the development of CVD. Here, we fulfilled a meta-analysis to evaluate the association between CVD and serum endocan levels. Method: The relevant published literature was searched through large literature databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, SinoMed, and Web of Science, up to June 1, 2018. The data were extracted from the studies. Stata software was used to perform a meta-analysis. Result: Fifteen original studies with a total of 1839 patients and 1258 controls fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included in the study dataset. Meta-analysis showed that the levels of serumendocan in patients with hypertension, coronary artery disease, and coronary slow flow were higher than those in the control group. The pooled standardized mean differences and 95% confidence intervals of endocan concentrations in those 3 groups were 0.53 [0.19-0.86], P<. 01; 0.99 [0.51-1.39], P<.01; and 0.62 [0.45-0.78], P<.01, respectively. Further analysis showed that the level of serum endocan in hypertension patients with coronary artery disease was higher than that in patients with hypertension (0.61 [0.30-0.92], P<. 01). Sensitivity analysis and subgroup analysis were use to confirm the above results. Conclusions: In this meta-analysis, we further confirmed that serum endocan level was significantly increased in the CVD population. The high serum endocan level may be one of the risk factors for CVD.
