- Innovations in understanding cardiorenal interactions, biomarkers, and management have occurred.
- The conceptualization and pathophysiology of CRS have undergone substantial changes, complicating study.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review topical evolutions and emerging trends in CRS pathophysiology, diagnostic pathways, and treatment strategies.
- To provide a bibliometric analysis of CRS research from 2003 to 2022.
- To offer directions for future research in the field of cardiorenal syndrome.
Main Methods:
- Quantitative retrospective analysis of 1452 articles published between 2003 and 2022.
- Bibliometric analysis utilizing CiteSpace and VOSviewer software.
- Visual review and evaluation of research trends and critical issues in CRS.
Main Results:
- Identified key developments in cardiorenal syndrome pathophysiology and treatment paradigms.
- Mapped the research landscape and intellectual structure of CRS studies.
- Highlighted areas of intense research focus and emerging trends over 20 years.
Conclusions:
- A comprehensive understanding of CRS evolution is crucial for advancing research.

Abstract:
In the last 20 years, the cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) field has received growing attention. There have been innovations in cardiorenal interaction patterns, biological markers and management of CRS, and even significant changes in its concept and the paradigm of CRS pathophysiology, which considerably increases the difficulties in understanding and in-depth study of this field. However, few study summarized the development process of CRS and critical issues. This review focuses on topical evolutions and emerging trends in CRS pathophysiology, diagnostic pathways, and treatment strategies. A quantitative retrospective analysis, visual review, and evaluation of 1452 articles published in the domain of CRS from 2003 to 2022 was conducted using a bibliometric analysis based on the classic CiteSpace and VOSviewer software rather than a general review, aiming to provide reasonable ideas and directions for future research on CRS.
