Insights
This bibliometric study analyzes research on residual cardiovascular risk, identifying key trends and hotspots. Findings highlight the growing global focus on lipid-lowering and inflammation, guiding future research directions.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Bibliometrics
- Public Health
Background:
- Residual cardiovascular risk remains a significant contributor to cardiovascular events.
- Despite advances, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of this field was lacking.
- Understanding research trends is crucial for future advancements.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of residual cardiovascular risk research.
- To identify current research hotspots and emerging trends.
- To guide future basic and clinical research in this area.
Main Methods:
- Literature search of the Web of Science Core Collection database (September 28, 2022).
- Analysis using bibliometric tools: CiteSpace, VOSviewer, Bibliometrix (R package), and Excel.
- Inclusion of 1167 publications.
Main Results:
- Publication output is rapidly increasing, with the United States leading in research.
- Harvard Medical School is the top institution; Ridker PM and Boden WE are prominent researchers.
- Key research areas include complications, risk factors, and pharmacological prevention strategies.
Conclusions:
- Global attention to residual cardiovascular risk is increasing.
- Current research focuses on lipid-lowering, inflammation, and dual-pathway inhibition.
- International collaboration is essential for comprehensive management and evaluation.
Background:
The presence of residual cardiovascular risk is an important cause of cardiovascular events. Despite the significant advances in our understanding of residual cardiovascular risk, a comprehensive analysis through bibliometrics has not been performed to date. Our objective is to conduct bibliometric studies to analyze and visualize the current research hotspots and trends related to residual cardiovascular risk. This will aid in understanding the future directions of both basic and clinical research in this area.
Methods:
The literature was obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection database. The literature search date was September 28, 2022. Bibliometric indicators were analyzed using CiteSpace, VOSviewer, Bibliometrix (an R package), and Microsoft Excel.
Result:
A total of 1167 papers were included, and the number of publications is increasing rapidly in recent years. The United States and Harvard Medical School are the leading country and institution, respectively, in the study of residual cardiovascular risk. Ridker PM and Boden WE are outstanding investigators in this field. According to our research results, the New England Journal of Medicine is the most influential journal in the field of residual cardiovascular risk, whereas Atherosclerosis boasts the highest number of publications on this topic. Analysis of keywords and landmark literature identified current research hotspots including complications of residual cardiovascular risk, risk factors, and pharmacological prevention strategies.
Conclusion:
In recent times, global attention toward residual cardiovascular risk has significantly increased. Current research is focused on comprehensive lipid-lowering, residual inflammation risk, and dual-pathway inhibition strategies. Future efforts should emphasize strengthening international communication and cooperation to promote the comprehensive evaluation and management of residual cardiovascular risk.
