Psycho-Cardiological Disease: A Bibliometric Review From 2001 to 2021

Abstract

The aim of this study was to gain insight into the progress and dynamics of psycho-cardiological disease research and track its hot spots. We have analyzed psycho-cardiological disease-related literature extracted from the Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection from 2001 to 2021 with the help of Cite Space. As a result, we have included 5,032 records. Then, we have analyzed connected networks for the country, author, subject category, keywords, and cited reference. We have summarized the findings in four aspects. First, the annual quantitative distribution of publications is on the rise, although there is a slight drop. Second, in terms of country analysis, the United States, England, Australia, Germany, and Italy are the main research forces in psycho-cardiological diseases. At the same time, several academic entities represented by Andrew Steptoe and Roland von Känel, MD, have been formed based on the early consciousness of physical and mental health in these countries. Besides, China is also more concerned about it due to the rapid population aging process and the largest population. Third, the psycho-cardiological disease is multidisciplinary, including psychology, psychiatry, clinical medicine, such as cardiovascular system and neurology, public environmental and occupational health, and pharmacology. Finally, the results of keyword analysis and co-cited references indicate the hot spots and frontiers in psycho-cardiological disease. The hot spots in psycho-cardiological disease include three aspects. The first aspect includes psychosocial factors, such as depression, lack of social support, and low economic and social status; the second aspect includes priority populations, such as Alzheimer’s disease dementia caregivers, elderly, and patients with cancer, and the third aspect includes interventions, such as exercise therapy and diet. In addition, there are three future research frontiers. The first is a psycho-cardiological disease in patients with COVID-19; the second is cardiac rehabilitation, especially exercise therapy and health behavior evaluation; and the final is evidence-based medical evaluation, such as systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

How Much Do We Care about Teacher Burnout during the Pandemic: A Bibliometric Review

“…Another considerable part focused on the impact of the pandemic from the point of view of business or the economy. Of these 489 reviews, 17 included some reference to stress [ 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 ] but none mentioned burnout. Likewise, 5 considered teachers [ 71 , 76 , 77 , 78 ], with 3 of them focusing on university teachers [ 71 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 ] and the other 2 on the use of learning through ICT [ 77 , 80 ].…”

None of the available reviews analysed the role of stress and/or burnout in teachers.…”

Bibliometric analysis of research on Alzheimer’s disease and non-coding RNAs: Opportunities and challenges

“…The data involved in our study are all extracted from the Web of Science, and the extracted data are comprehensive, reliable, and highly recognized. A large number of previous bibliometric analysis have also used this database ( Yao et al, 2020 ; Sun et al, 2022 ; You et al, 2022 ).…”

Acupuncture in treating cardiovascular disease complicated with depression: A systematic review and meta-analysis

“…Cardiovascular disease is one of the factors that affects human health and quality of life around the world, and its occurrence is often accompanied by depression and other negative emotions. When CVD and psychological disorders coexist, they are referred to as psycho-cardiology disease ( 25 ). Negative emotions may trigger or exacerbate the symptoms of CVD.…”
