Although the vast majority of patients with a myocardial bridge (MB) are asymptomatic, the anomaly was found to be associated with stable or unstable angina, vasospastic angina, acute coronary syndrome, and even malignant arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in some cases.
By retrieving the relevant literature on MB from 1 January 1980 to 31 July 2022 from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database, we used the bibliometric tools, including CiteSpace, VOS viewer, and alluvial generator, to visualize the scientific achievements on MB.
A total of 630 articles were included. The number of published articles was in a fluctuating growth trend. These publications came from 37 contries, led by the USA and China. The leading country on MB was the United States, the leading position among institutions was Stanford University, and the most productive researcher on MB was Jennifer A. Tremmel. After analysis, the most common keywords were myocardial bridge, mortality, coronary angiography, descending coronary artery, and sudden death.
Our findings can aid researchers in understanding the current state of MB research and in choosing fresh lines of inquiry for forthcoming investigations. Prevalence and prognosis, mechanism atherosclerosis, hemodynamic significance, and molecular autops will likely become the focus of future research. In addition, more studies and cooperations are still needed worldwide.
尽管绝大多数心肌桥（MB）患者无症状，但该异常情况被发现与稳定型或不稳定型心绞痛、血管痉挛性心绞痛、急性冠状动脉综合征有关，在某些情况下甚至与恶性心律失常和心源性猝死有关。
通过从科学网核心合集（WoSCC）数据库检索1980年1月1日至2022年7月31日期间关于MB的相关文献，我们使用了文献计量工具，包括CiteSpace、VOS viewer和冲积图生成器，以可视化关于MB的科学成果。
共纳入630篇文章。发表文章的数量呈波动增长趋势。这些出版物来自37个国家，以美国和中国为首。在心肌桥研究方面领先的国家是美国，领先的机构是斯坦福大学，在心肌桥研究方面产出最多的研究人员是詹妮弗·A·特雷梅尔。经过分析，最常见的关键词是心肌桥、死亡率、冠状动脉造影、冠状动脉降支和猝死。
我们的研究结果有助于研究人员了解心肌桥研究的现状，并为未来的研究选择新的研究方向。患病率和预后、动脉粥样硬化机制、血流动力学意义和分子尸检可能会成为未来研究的重点。此外，全球仍需要更多的研究和合作。
