To evaluate the global research results of the catheter ablation and surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation in the past 40 years by bibliometrics, and to explore the hotspots and prospects for future development.
Relevant literatures were selected from the Web of Science Core Collection. VOSviewer 1.6.17, SciMAT 1.1.04, and CiteSpace 5.8.R1 were used to analyze the data objectively, deeply and comprehensively.
As of July 14, 2021, 11,437 studies for the catheter ablation and surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation have been identified from 1980 to 2021. The and respectively ranked first in terms of the number of publications and the number of co-citations. A total of 6,631 institutions from 90 countries participated in the study, with USA leading the way with 3,789 documents. Cryoablation, atrial fibrosis, substrate modification, minimally invasive and access surgery will still be the research focus and frontier in the next few years.
The publication information for the catheter ablation and surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation were reviewed, including country, institution, author, journal publications, and so on. Developed countries had the advantage in this research areas, and cooperation with low-income countries should be improved. The former research hotspots in the field of catheter ablation and surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation were analyzed, and the future research direction was predicted.
通过文献计量学评估过去40年心房颤动导管消融和外科治疗的全球研究成果，并探讨未来发展的热点和前景。
从Web of Science核心合集中选取相关文献。使用VOSviewer 1.6.17、SciMAT 1.1.04和CiteSpace 5.8.R1对数据进行客观、深入和全面的分析。
截至2021年7月14日，1980年至2021年期间共识别出11437项关于心房颤动导管消融和外科治疗的研究。[此处原文可能有缺失信息]在出版物数量和共被引次数方面分别排名第一。共有来自90个国家的6631个机构参与了该研究，美国以3789篇文献领先。冷冻消融、心房纤维化、基质改良、微创和通路手术仍将是未来几年的研究重点和前沿。
回顾了心房颤动导管消融和外科治疗的发表信息，包括国家、机构、作者、期刊发表情况等。发达国家在该研究领域具有优势，应加强与低收入国家的合作。分析了心房颤动导管消融和外科治疗领域以前的研究热点，并预测了未来的研究方向。
