Background:
It is reported that insulin resistance widely exists in non-diabetic patients with a recent history of transient ischemic attack (TIA) or ischemic stroke. There is currently strong evidence to prove the bidirectional effect of glucose metabolism disorders and stroke events. Therefore, it is necessary to retrospectively tease out the current status, hotspots, and frontiers of insulin resistance and ischemic cerebrovascular disease through CiteSpace.
Materials And Methods:
We searched the Web of Science (WOS) for studies related to insulin resistance and ischemic cerebrovascular disease from 1999 to April 2022, then downloaded the data into CiteSpace to generate a knowledge visualization map.
Results:
A total of 1,500 publications relevant to insulin resistance and ischemic cerebrovascular disease were retrieved. The USA had the most articles on this topic, followed by PEOPLES R CHINA and JAPAN. WALTER N KERNAN was the most prolific author, whose research mainly focused on insulin resistance intervention after stroke (IRIS) trial. The most common keywords were myocardial ischemia, metabolic syndrome, ischemic stroke, cerebral ischemia, association, oxidative stress, inflammation, and adipose tissue. Major ongoing research trends include three aspects: (1) the association between insulin resistance and ischemic cerebrovascular disease in non-diabetic patients, (2) the intrinsic pathological mechanism between insulin resistance and ischemic cerebrovascular disease, and (3) early intervention of insulin resistance to improve the prognosis of stroke.
Conclusion:
The results of this bibliometric study provide the current status and trends of clinical research publications in the field of insulin resistance and ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Insulin resistance is strongly associated with the occurrence of ischemic stroke, early neurological deterioration in stroke patients, post-stroke depression, and cerebral small vessel disease. Early treatment of insulin resistance can be an effective way to prevent the onset of ischemic stroke and improve stroke prognosis. This study may help researchers to identify hot topics and explore new research directions.
