To perform a bibliometric analysis of publications of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) from 1981 to 2023 to summarize the current publications and explore frontiers on this topic.
We integrated the scientific publications on ARVC in the Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection database from January 1981 to September 2023, using the retrieval strategy of medical subject headings combined with keywords. We focused on articles and reviews that were published in English. Relevant information such as the journal and publisher, the title, authors, organizations, abstract, keywords, published date, and number of citations, were collected. Bibliometric analysis was performed and visualized by the R software and Microsoft Excel.
The results revealed a total of 4792 records related to ARVC from the WOS database, and 2992 original articles or reviews which were selected for bibliometric analysis. There were 79 countries and regions, 3724 research institutions, and 12 157 scholars who have published in this topic. The number of scientific publications of ARVC increased year-by-year, with an annual growth rate of 12.12%. We also investigated the top 10 contributing countries, organizations with affiliations, most influential researchers, highest-cited articles, and highest-frequency keywords. In addition, the most active areas of research on ARVC included that of fatal complications, molecular pathological mechanisms, diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis respectively according to the keywords trend analysis.
Our study reports the publication landscape of ARVC during the past four decades based on bibliometric analysis. This study provides a deeper understanding of the published literature on ARVC.
对 1981 年至 2023 年心律失常性右室心肌病（ARVC）的出版物进行文献计量分析，总结当前的出版物，并探讨该主题的前沿领域。
我们整合了 1981 年 1 月至 2023 年 9 月在 Web of Science（WOS）核心合集数据库中发表的 ARVC 科学出版物，使用医学主题词与关键词相结合的检索策略。我们重点关注以英文发表的文章和综述。收集了期刊和出版商、标题、作者、机构、摘要、关键词、发表日期和引用次数等相关信息。使用 R 软件和 Microsoft Excel 进行文献计量分析和可视化。
结果显示，从 WOS 数据库中检索到与 ARVC 相关的记录共 4792 条，其中有 2992 篇原始文章或综述用于文献计量分析。有 79 个国家和地区、3724 个研究机构和 12157 名学者在该主题上发表了文章。ARVC 的科学出版物数量逐年增加，年增长率为 12.12%。我们还调查了十大贡献国、有联系的组织、最有影响力的研究人员、引用率最高的文章和出现频率最高的关键词。此外，根据关键词趋势分析，ARVC 研究的最活跃领域分别为致命并发症、分子病理机制、诊断、治疗和预后。
本研究基于文献计量分析，报告了过去四十年 ARVC 的发表情况。本研究提供了对 ARVC 发表文献的更深入了解。
