The Development of Ventricular Assist Devices over the Past 30 Years: A Bibliometric Analysis

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal.

A large gap exists between the needs of patients with end-stage heart failure and the number of gold-standard heart transplants. Over the past 30 years, a revolutionary treatment strategy using ventricular assist devices (VADs) has rapidly developed and become widely used in clinical practice. However, few analyses have assessed the application and publication trends in the VAD field.

The authors of this article used the Web of Science core collection to identify VAD research published between 1992 and 2022. Analysis and data visualization was performed with CiteSpace, Scimago Graphica, and VOSviewer.

13,274 articles published in 1129 journals were identified, describing work from 6351 institutions in 86 countries. Among them, the United States contributed the most to VAD research, and almost all the top ten authors and institutions contributing to VAD research were from the United States.

In the past 5 years, VAD research has focused on right heart failure, outcomes, effects and risk factors, societies of surgeons, and clinical guidelines. Because of the large number of patients with heart failure, it is expected that VAD development to peak in the next decade.

Research Hotspots and Trends in Home-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation: A Bibliometric Visualization Analysis

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. This research was aimed at determining research hotspots and major topics in the field of international home-based cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR) over the past 20 years and exploring future trends in HBCR. A total of 757 research articles from 2002 to 2022, with themes of home-based cardiac rehabilitation, were included in the core collection database of Web of Science. CiteSpace software was used for literature metrology and visualization analysis.

The total number of research articles on HBCR is increasing.

Research hotspots in HBCR include the effectiveness of rehabilitation after coronary heart disease or heart failure; quality of life; mental health; and home rehabilitation after COVID-19.

Research trends in HBCR include wearable intelligent technology; telerehabilitation; lifestyle interventions; and home-based rehabilitation prescriptions for exercise, nutrition, psychology and continuous management.

The effects of HBCR have been continuously verified. Research has focused primarily on secondary prevention and rehabilitation after coronary heart disease and heart failure. More attention must be paid to improving patients’ quality of life by HBCR. Telerehabilitation based on wearable intelligent technology, home-based lifestyle interventions and continuous management are future trends of HBCR development.
