Endocan: a new marker of endothelial function
View through CrossRef
Purpose of review
To consider the role of endocan as an inflammatory marker in cardiovascular diseases.
Recent findings
Endocan, an endothelial inflammatory marker, is associated with cardiovascular disease.
Summary
Vascular endothelial inflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases by influencing thrombogenesis, tumour invasion and secretion of bioactive mediators. We discuss the role of endocan mainly in the context of cardiology.
