Insights
Research on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) shows sudden cardiac death risk stratification and prevention are key topics. Advances include gene detection and the drug mavacamten, with the US leading global research output.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Biomedical Research
Context:
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) research has seen significant growth between 2018 and 2022.
- Bibliometric analysis of 6355 publications reveals trends and key areas of focus.
Purpose:
- To analyze research progress and identify hot topics in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) from 2018 to 2022.
- To provide insights into the current landscape of HCM research.
Summary:
- Sudden cardiac death (SCD) prediction, particularly using late gadolinium-enhanced cardiac MRI, is a major research focus.
- Gene detection and the novel drug mavacamten have emerged as significant areas of investigation.
- The United States leads in publication volume and citations, while China shows high output but lower research quality.
Impact:
- Highlights the critical importance of risk stratification and prevention strategies for sudden death in HCM.
- Identifies key research areas for future investigation and potential therapeutic development.
- Suggests a need for enhanced multi-center collaboration among Chinese scholars to improve research quality and impact.
Abstract:
Objective To analyze the research progress and hot topics in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy from 2018 to 2022.Methods The publications in the field of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy from January 1,2018 to December 31,2022 were retrieved from Web of Science core collection database and included for a bibliometric analysis.Results A total of 6355 publications were included,with an average citation frequency of 7 times.The year 2021 witnessed the most publications (1406).The analysis with VOSviewer showed that the research on sudden death related to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy,especially the predictive value of late gadolinium-enhanced cardiac MRI in sudden death,was a hot topic.In addition,gene detection and the new drug mavacamten became hot research topics.The United States was the country with the largest number of publications and the highest citation frequency in this field.Chinese scholars produced the second largest number of publications,which,however,included few high-quality research results.Conclusions Risk stratification and prevention of sudden death is still an important and hot research content in the field of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.Chinese scholars should carry out multi-center cooperation in the future to improve the research results.
