The aim of this study is to analyze the process and frontiers of research in myocardial bridges (MB) to identify future research directions in the last 3 decades.
Relevant literature on MB combined with myocardial infarction (MI) was searched from 1991 to 2023 in the Web of Science database, and was analyzed by bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the R package "bibliometrix."
A total of 1233 English articles were included in this study. The number of published articles showed an increasing trend yearly. From 2017 to 2022, the annual publication volume rose rapidly, and in 2021 the publication volume even reached 95 articles, which was the highest in all years. These publications were from 68 countries and 1854 institutions, with the leading country being the U.S. and the leading institution being Columbia University. Myoho Clinical International has a close collaborative relationship with Columbia University, while in recent years, the Harvard Medical School has explored the study of MB combined with MI. Annals of Thoracic Surgery was the journal with the highest number of publications, and Takayama Hiroo and Naka Yoshifumi were the authors with the highest number of publications. The most common keywords were MI, cardiogenic shock, and MB.
Our findings can help researchers explore the current status of MB combined with MI research and choose new survey routes for upcoming studies. Prevalence and prognosis, mechanism of MB combined with MI and molecular mechanism may become the focus of future research. In addition, more research and cooperation are needed worldwide.
本研究旨在分析心肌桥（MB）研究的过程和前沿，以确定过去 30 年来的未来研究方向。
从 1991 年到 2023 年，在 Web of Science 数据库中检索了与 MB 合并心肌梗死（MI）相关的文献，并使用 VOSviewer、CiteSpace 和 R 包“bibliometrix”进行了文献计量分析。
本研究共纳入 1233 篇英文文章。发表文章的数量呈逐年增加趋势。从 2017 年到 2022 年，年发表量迅速增加，2021 年发表量甚至达到 95 篇，为历年最高。这些出版物来自 68 个国家和 1854 个机构，其中领先的国家是美国，领先的机构是哥伦比亚大学。Myoho Clinical International 与哥伦比亚大学有着密切的合作关系，而近年来，哈佛医学院一直在探索 MB 合并 MI 的研究。《胸外科年鉴》是发表文章数量最多的期刊，Takayama Hiroo 和 Naka Yoshifumi 是发表文章数量最多的作者。最常见的关键词是 MI、心源性休克和 MB。
我们的研究结果可以帮助研究人员探索 MB 合并 MI 研究的现状，并为未来的研究选择新的调查途径。患病率和预后、MB 合并 MI 的机制和分子机制可能成为未来研究的重点。此外，全球需要更多的研究和合作。
