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.
Objective:
The prevalence of acute myocardial infarction, a severe ischemic cardiac disease, is on the rise annually. The establishment of coronary collateral circulation in the border zone of the infarct can effectively relieve myocardial ischemia and impede cell death, while angiogenesis can promote the formation of collateral circulation in the ischemic tissues. Over the past two decades, studies related to angiogenesis in acute myocardial infarction have increased rapidly. However, there is a lack of bibliometric studies in this particular field.
Methods:
For this study, we employed bibliometric analysis to outline focal points and patterns in scientific and clinical research. The collection of literature was gathered using the Web of Science Core Collection database. Bibliometric and visual analysis were conducted. Knowledge maps were generated using CiteSpace and VOSviewer software.
Results And Conclusions:
With the deepening of the research, therapeutic angiogenesis will become a treatment direction for acute myocardial infarction in the future.
