Insights

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) research is growing, with the US leading publications. Recent studies focus on diagnostic imaging and practical guidelines for this pregnancy-related heart condition.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Obstetrics
  • Medical Research

Background:

  • Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a serious pregnancy-related heart condition.
  • PPCM is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality.
  • Recovery from PPCM can be uncertain, with variable outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze global scientific output on PPCM.
  • To identify emerging research trends and hotspots in PPCM studies.

Main Methods:

  • Bibliometric analysis of 509 articles retrieved from the Scopus database using the keyword "peripartum cardiomyopathy".
  • Analysis included publication trends, geographical distribution, citations, author and institutional contributions, and research focus areas.
  • VOSviewer software was used for visualization and hotspot identification.

Main Results:

  • A significant increase in annual publications on PPCM was observed from 1971 to 2022.
  • The United States leads in publication volume and H-index.
  • Key research areas have shifted towards "diagnostic imaging" and "practical guidelines".

Conclusions:

  • PPCM research output is increasing and projected to continue growing.
  • Current research emphasizes diagnostic imaging and practical guidelines.
  • Future research should prioritize enhanced global collaboration and in-depth investigations.

Cardiomyopathy I: Introduction and Classification01:25

Cardiomyopathy I: Introduction and Classification

Cardiomyopathy, or CMP, is a group of diseases affecting the myocardial structure, impairing its ability to pump blood effectively. This condition can lead to arrhythmias, heart failure, or sudden cardiac death.Cardiomyopathies are classified into primary and secondary categories:Primary Cardiomyopathy refers to conditions involving only the heart muscle that are often idiopathic (of unknown cause) or genetic. They primarily affect the myocardium without the involvement of other systemic...
Cardiomyopathy II: Dilated Cardiomyopathy01:30

Cardiomyopathy II: Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Dilated cardiomyopathy, or DCM, is a progressive myocardial disorder characterized by ventricular chamber dilation and contractile dysfunction.EtiologyVarious factors can cause DCM, including hypertension and heavy alcohol intake, which contribute to the weakening and enlargement of the heart muscle. Viral infections, such as Coxsackievirus B, adenoviruses, and influenza, can lead to DCM by causing inflammation and damage to heart tissue. Certain chemotherapeutic agents, including daunorubicin,...

Cardiomyopathy III: Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or HCM, is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy without ventricular dilation. It is more common in men and is typically diagnosed in young, athletic adults.EtiologyHCM is primarily genetic and is caused by mutations in genes encoding sarcomeric proteins. Researchers have identified over 1400 mutations across at least 11 different genes. Among these, the most frequently occurring mutations are found in the...

Cardiomyopathy IV: Restrictive Cardiomyopathy

Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is a rare heart muscle disease characterized by impaired ventricular filling due to stiffened ventricular walls, leading to significant diastolic dysfunction.EtiologyRestrictive cardiomyopathy can arise from both inherited and acquired diseases, many of which are systemic. It is categorized into four main types: infiltrative, storage, non-infiltrative, and endomyocardial diseases.Infiltrative diseases, such as amyloidosis, lead to RCM by depositing amyloid...

Cardiomyopathy V: Interprofessional Care

Managing cardiomyopathy involves addressing underlying or precipitating causes, treating heart failure with medications, and implementing dietary changes and a balanced exercise and rest regimen.Lifestyle ModificationsCardiomyopathy patients should adopt a low-sodium diet to reduce fluid retention and manage heart failure. A personalized exercise and rest plan helps maintain physical fitness without overstraining the heart. Avoiding alcohol and tobacco is essential to prevent further damage to...
