Insights
Research on myocardial infarction and heart failure is rapidly growing. This bibliometric analysis reveals key trends and hotspots in research over the past 30 years, highlighting leading countries, institutions, and keywords.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Research
- Bibliometrics
- Medical Informatics
Background:
- Myocardial infarction (MI) incidence is rising, increasing the risk of heart failure (HF) due to complex pathophysiological interactions.
- Despite extensive study of MI and HF, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis is lacking.
- This study addresses the need for a bibliometric overview of MI-related HF research over three decades.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of research trends in myocardial infarction and heart failure over the past 30 years.
- To identify key research hotspots, influential publications, and emerging themes in the field.
- To provide insights into the evolution of scientific inquiry concerning the link between MI and HF.
Main Methods:
- Systematic retrieval of original publications on MI and HF from the Web of Science Core Collection (1993-2023).
- Utilized CiteSpace and VOSviewer for bibliometric analysis of countries, institutions, authors, journals, keywords, and references.
- Identified publication trends, collaboration patterns, and intellectual structure of the research domain.
Main Results:
- A significant increase in publications on MI and HF, peaking in 2022.
- The United States and China lead in publication volume; Brigham and Women's Hospital is the most prolific institution.
- Key terms include heart failure, myocardial infarction, mortality, and acute myocardial infarction; recent focus on management, risk, and percutaneous coronary intervention.
Conclusions:
- Research on MI-induced HF has intensified in the last five years.
- Current research aims to elucidate MI's role in HF pathogenesis, with a focus on prediction and biomarkers.
- Future research is expected to emphasize screening methods and therapeutic strategies for MI-related HF.
Background:
The incidence of myocardial infarction has been rapidly increasing in recent years, making it one of the most common cardiovascular disorders. Due to the intricate interactions between large-vessel occlusions, microvascular dysfunction, ventricular remodeling, inflammation, and neurohormonal activation, patients who experience myocardial infarction are more likely to develop heart failure. Even though myocardial infarction and heart failure have been studied extensively, a thorough bibliometric analysis has not yet been carried out. The purpose of this study is to use bibliometric analysis to examine the trends in myocardial infarction linked to heart failure during the previous 30 years.
Methods:
From 1993 to 2023, this study methodically retrieved original publications from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) about myocardial infarction and heart failure. We identified research trends and hotspots in the subject by extracting and analyzing data on countries/regions, institutions, authors, journals, keywords, and references related to the issue using tools like CiteSpace and VOSviewer.
Results:
Over the past 30 years, there has been a consistent increase in the number of published articles about myocardial infarction and heart failure, reaching a peak in 2022. The United States and China have a significant advantage in publication volume, each exceeding 200 articles. Brigham and Women's Hospital has published the most articles, totaling 49. In addition to publishing the most papers, the journal Circulation also had the biggest influence. The top five keywords include heart failure, myocardial infarction, mortality, acute myocardial infarction, and cardiovascular disease. In recent years, the outbreak words that have remained in the spotlight are management, association, risk, percutaneous coronary intervention, and guidelines.
Conclusion:
Over the past 5 years, the increasing incidence of myocardial infarction accompanied by heart failure has garnered significant attention in research, leading to a substantial growth in related literature. The main goal of current research is to clarify the processes through which myocardial infarction causes heart failure; predictions and biomarkers are important areas of study. Future research is likely to concentrate on screening methods and treatment strategies.
