Purpose:
This study, based on a bibliometric analysis in the field of cardiac rehabilitation in Latin America, aims to (1) describe the number of publications per year, journal, country affiliation, and contributing authors; (2) identify collaborative networks; and (3) determine emerging research trends.
Review Methods:
A defined search strategy was implemented in Scopus for documents indexed up to September 2023. The retrieved records were analyzed using VantagePoint software (Search Technology, 15.2) to extract activity indicators (publication frequency, countries, institutions, and authors), relationship indicators (coauthorship among countries and authors), and research trends through author-included keywords in each article.
Summary:
A total of 124 records were selected. The highest publication frequency was observed between 2019 and 2023, with Brazil and Canada leading in publication counts. Regarding international collaboration, studies were frequently coauthored by institutions in Brazil, Canada, Colombia, and the United States. Most records associated cardiovascular rehabilitation with cardiovascular diseases (coronary disease), exercise, and questionnaires. This investigation offers insights that are instrumental in shaping the trajectory of future studies by analyzing publication patterns and identifying potential collaborative partners in the region. Through a detailed examination of bibliometric data, it sets a foundation for advancing research agendas and fostering partnerships in cardiac rehabilitation within Latin America.

Overview of Advanced Functional Groups
Functional groups are groups of atoms with specific chemical properties that occur within organic molecules and are sometimes denoted as “R”. Functional groups can “functionalize” a compound by enabling it to adopt different physical and chemical properties.
