Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common clinical malignant arrhythmia with an increasing global incidence. Ion channel dysfunction is an important mechanism in the development of AF. In this study, we used bibliometrics to analyze the studies of ion channels and AF, aiming to provide inspiration and reference for researchers. A total of 3179 literature citations were obtained from Web of Science core databases. Analysis software included Excel 2019, VOSviewer 1.6.16, and CiteSpace 5.7.R2. This field of research has been growing since 1985. The most active country is the United States. The University of Montreal is the most important research institution. The journal Cardiovascular Research has published the largest number of articles in this field. Stanley Nattel and Dobromir Dobrev are the most frequently cited authors. The most cited literature was published in Nature and Science. Cardiac electrophysiology, gene expression, pathogenesis of AF, and AF prevention and treatment are the hot topics for this field research. Cardiac fibrillation and catheter ablation may be future research hotspots in this field.
心房颤动（AF）是一种常见的临床恶性心律失常，其全球发病率呈上升趋势。离子通道功能障碍是 AF 发生的重要机制。本研究采用文献计量学方法分析离子通道与 AF 的研究，旨在为研究人员提供启示和参考。从 Web of Science 核心数据库中获取了 3179 篇文献引文。分析软件包括 Excel 2019、VOSviewer 1.6.16 和 CiteSpace 5.7.R2。自 1985 年以来，该研究领域一直在发展。最活跃的国家是美国。蒙特利尔大学是最重要的研究机构。该领域发表文章最多的期刊是《心血管研究》。Stanley Nattel 和 Dobromir Dobrev 是被引用最多的作者。被引用最多的文献发表在《自然》和《科学》杂志上。心脏电生理学、基因表达、AF 发病机制以及 AF 的预防和治疗是该领域研究的热点。心脏纤颤和导管消融可能是该领域未来的研究热点。
