Summary
This bibliometric analysis reveals research trends in ischemic stroke pathophysiology. China and the US lead, with key research areas including the central nervous system and molecular mechanisms.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Biomedical Research
- Public Health
Background:
- Ischemic stroke pathophysiology is crucial for scientific understanding and research interest is growing.
- A comprehensive bibliometric analysis of this field is currently lacking.
- This study addresses the need for a systematic overview of research in ischemic stroke pathophysiology.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of ischemic stroke pathophysiology research.
- To identify current research status and emerging hotspots.
- To predict future research trends in the field.
Main Methods:
- Searched the Web of Science Core Collection (1990-2022).
- Utilized CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and R package 'bibliometrix' for analysis.
- Analyzed countries, institutions, journals, authors, papers, and keywords.
Main Results:
- 7,578 records were analyzed, with China and the US as leading countries.
- Harvard University was the most active institution; 'Stroke' and Gregory YH Lip were most prolific.
- 'Nature Medicine' had the highest citations per article.
- Key research themes included central nervous system, mechanisms, biochemistry, and medical imaging.
- Peripheral organ damage and rehabilitation require further investigation.
Conclusions:
- This is the first bibliometric study mapping the knowledge structure of ischemic stroke pathophysiology over 32 years.
- Findings provide a reference for scholars exploring ischemic stroke pathophysiology.
- Highlights areas for future research focus, including peripheral organ damage and rehabilitation.

01:17Ischemic Heart Disease: Overview
Ischemic heart disease occurs when the heart's blood supply dwindles, causing an ominous lack of oxygen and nutrients. This deficiency, stemming from reduced or obstructed blood flow, spells danger, leading to heart muscle damage and dysfunction.
Atherosclerosis, the primary malefactor, orchestrates this dangerous condition. It manifests as the accumulation of fatty deposits, akin to insidious plaques, within arterial walls. As time elapses, these plaques metamorphose, hardening and narrowing...

01:29Stroke: Introduction and Types
A stroke is an acute neurological event caused by the sudden disruption of cerebral blood flow, leading to rapid loss of neuronal function. Neurons depend on continuous oxygen and glucose supply, so even brief interruptions can cause irreversible injury within minutes. Strokes are classified into ischemic and hemorrhagic types.Ischemic StrokeIschemic strokes are most common and occur due to arterial occlusion, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. This leads to energy failure, ionic...
01:15Ischemic Stroke l: Introduction
Ischemic stroke is an acute cerebrovascular condition in which blood flow to a brain region is suddenly interrupted, leading to tissue infarction. Neurons depend on continuous oxygen and glucose supply, so even brief reductions in perfusion cause energy failure, ionic imbalance, and irreversible injury. Ischemic strokes are classified into thrombotic and embolic types based on their underlying mechanisms.Thrombotic MechanismsThrombotic stroke develops when a clot forms within a cerebral artery.
01:15Ischemic Stroke ll: Pathophysiology
An ischemic stroke occurs when a cerebral blood vessel becomes obstructed, most often by a thrombus or embolus, interrupting the delivery of oxygen and glucose to brain tissue. Because neurons rely on continuous aerobic metabolism, energy failure begins within minutes of reduced perfusion. The region receiving the least blood flow becomes the infarct core, an area of irreversible cellular death. Surrounding this core lies the penumbra, a zone of hypoperfused but still viable tissue that is...
01:17Hemorrhagic Stroke l: Introduction
A hemorrhagic stroke is an acute neurological event that occurs when a weakened cerebral blood vessel ruptures, allowing blood to accumulate within or around the brain. The sudden release of blood forms a focal hematoma that increases intracranial pressure, displaces neural tissue, and can obstruct cerebrospinal fluid pathways. These effects may be compounded by intraventricular extension of the hemorrhage, cerebral edema, or compression of adjacent structures, all of which contribute to...
01:29Hemorrhagic Stroke ll: Pathophysiology
A hemorrhagic stroke develops when a cerebral blood vessel ruptures, allowing blood to escape into the surrounding brain tissue, as in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), or into the subarachnoid space, as in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Because the skull is a rigid compartment, the sudden presence of extravascular blood rapidly increases intracranial pressure and compresses adjacent neural structures, leading to immediate tissue injury and impaired cerebral perfusion.Mass Effect and Primary...
