ABSTRACT
Background:
In recent years, numerous studies have suggested that the gut microbiota and its metabolites are closely related to myocardial infarction. Utilizing insights from these research findings may be advantageous in the prevention, treatment, and prognosis of myocardial infarction. We have employed bibliometric methodology to summarize the progress made in this research area over the past 20 years, identify the hotspots, and highlight the developmental tendencies, providing a reference for future research in this field.Methods:
We searched the content related to this field in the Web of Science Core Collection database, with a time range from 2001 to 2023. We used VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Scimago Graphica software to visualize the search results.Results:
We included 889 reports in this study. The country with the most publications was China, while the country with the greatest influence was the United States. An analysis of institutions showed that the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences had the largest volume of publications, whereas the Cleveland Clinic had the most influential ones. An author analysis showed Stanley L Hazen to have published the most and to also have been the most influential researcher. An analysis of all the journals publishing articles related to the search terms showed that PLoS One journal had the highest number of publications (18 articles), while Atherosclerosis journal had the most influential articles. The results of our reference analysis showed a strong association between Trimethylamine N-oxide and myocardial infarction. We found that increased intestinal permeability may be related to the progression of cardiovascular diseases, a high-fiber diet may help in the prevention of diseases such as myocardial infarction, and populations with a high intake of red meat may have an increased risk of myocardial infarction. Keyword analysis suggested that 'cardiac fibrosis' and 'major bleeding' were promising research directions in the future, and supplementing food intake with short-chain fatty acids was looked upon as a promising approach to treating coronary heart disease.Conclusion:
The gut microbiota are closely related to myocardial infarction, and investigating this relationship is crucial for the prevention and treatment of myocardial infarction, where interdisciplinary research and international cooperation are indispensable.
