In the new century, cardiac amyloidosis has received more attention from many countries and institutions, leading to innovations in the essence of the pathology, biological markers, noninvasive tests, and staging diagnoses and treatments for this disease. However, few reviews have summarized the research trends and hotspots in cardiac amyloidosis. Bibliometrics analysis is a statistically based approach to research that visualizes the contributions of academic institutions and changes in research hotspots. Therefore, in this paper, we used Citespace and VOSviewer software to conduct co-occurrence analysis and collaborative network analysis on the countries, institutions, and authors in the articles related to cardiac amyloidosis since the new century. And further find out burst keywords and references to obtain the research history, disciplinary development, and new hotspots and topics.
Background: Since the term of Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) was proposed, the field has attracted much attention, and research on biomarkers of CRS has gradually emerged. Now, many CRS biomarkers have been identified and applied in clinical practice for disease diagnosis, treatment guidance, prognosis prediction and so on. In this study, bibliometrics was used to analyze the current status, research hotspots and frontiers of CRS biomarkers, in order to provide some valuable information for the research in this field.
Methods: Literature related to CRS biomarkers in the Web of Science database from 2003 to 2022 was searched. Based on CiteSpace, Vosviewer software and R program, the bibliometrics method was adopted to conduct quantitative retrospective analysis, visual presentation and result interpretation of the included literatures.
Results: A total of 577 literatures related to CRS biomarkers were included.Since the study was carried out, the number of published papers has been on the rise. The United States dominates the field; The San Bortolo Hosp's publication ranks first; Claudio Ronco is the most influential author in the field, with an absolute advantage in the number of publications and citations. CARDIORENAL MEDICINE (IF=4.36) is the most published journal focusing on CRS research.Finally, the biomarkers and research hotspots of CRS are introduced.
Conclusion: The exploration of new biomarkers is still a hotspot in this field, and their value in efficacy and prognosis is a potential research direction. Exploring the mechanism of disease and pathophysiology may be the forefront of research in this field in the future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
