Global research trends on hypertension-induced myocardial fibrosis: A bibliometric analysis from 1976 to 2024.
This study aimed to provide a thorough overview of research hotspots in hypertension-induced myocardial fibrosis (MF) through a bibliometric analysis approach.
The Web of Science Core Collection database was searched for publications on hypertension-induced MF from 1976 to 2024. Bibliometric analysis and visualization were conducted by VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Bibliometrix R package.
The study analyzed 1127 articles from 51 countries, with the USA and China leading in contributions. The volume of publications on hypertension-induced MF has grown annually. Key research institutions include Harvard University and Institut National De La Sante Et De La Recherche Medicale. The journal Hypertension is the most popular, while Circulation is the most cited. The research involves over 7249 authors, with Weber Kt having the highest publication count and international collaborations. The main research focuses are the pathogenesis and treatment strategies, with "pulmonary hypertension," "pressure" and " mechanisms" emerging as primary research hotspots.
This bibliometric study provides an overview of research trends and advancements in hypertension-induced MF. Future research is expected to focus on noninvasive imaging methods, therapeutic targets and strategies, and left ventricular fibrosis associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension, aimed at improving diagnosis and treatment.
