Insights

Research on angiogenesis for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is growing. Bibliometric analysis reveals therapeutic angiogenesis as a future treatment direction for this severe ischemic cardiac disease.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Research
  • Biomedical Science
  • Medical Research

Background:

  • Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a serious cardiac condition with increasing prevalence.
  • Coronary collateral circulation is crucial for mitigating ischemia and cell death in AMI.
  • Angiogenesis plays a key role in forming collateral circulation in ischemic tissues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a bibliometric analysis of research on angiogenesis in acute myocardial infarction.
  • To identify key research areas and trends in this field.
  • To provide insights into the future direction of therapeutic angiogenesis for AMI.

Main Methods:

  • Bibliometric analysis of literature from the Web of Science Core Collection.
  • Utilized CiteSpace and VOSviewer for bibliometric and visual analysis.
  • Generated knowledge maps to illustrate research patterns.

Main Results:

  • Significant increase in studies on angiogenesis for AMI over the past two decades.
  • Identified focal points and patterns in scientific and clinical research.
  • Highlighted a lack of previous bibliometric studies in this specific domain.

Conclusions:

  • Therapeutic angiogenesis is emerging as a promising future treatment strategy for acute myocardial infarction.
  • Continued research in this area is expected to advance AMI management.
  • Bibliometric insights can guide future research efforts in cardiovascular angiogenesis.
