Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a severe outcome of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and a major global health concern. The overall impact of T2DM on the heart is demonstrated by echocardiographic measurements. Exercise helps reduce cardiovascular disease risk and improves glycemic management in T2DM. The objective of the present bibliometric study was to map the research trends on left ventricular dysfunction and exercise among T2DM.
The comprehensive search was conducted in the SCOPUS database, with the keywords "type 2 diabetes", "diabetic cardiomyopathy", "exercise," and "left ventricular function", with BOOLEAN Operators AND, OR. The search period ranged from 1984 to November 2023. The data was exported to VOS Viewer(1.6.20) for analysis.
Sixty-nine documents were retrieved from the database search. A steady rise was observed in the number of documents per year, between 1 and 5. The following countries published the maximum number of documents: the USA, Italy, Australia, and the UK. 79.7% of documents were original articles, 18.8% were reviews, and 1.4% were editorials. Most studies belonged to categories, namely medicine(69.9%), biochemistry(15.1%), pharmacology (8.6%) and health professions (2.2%). The network analysis was performed to explore the association between the studies based on co-authorship, citation analysis, and co-occurrence.
The bibliometric analysis showed the maximum number of publications belonged to high-income countries, with smaller contributions from low-middle-income countries (LMICs), including the Indian subcontinent. There is a need to explore the area of exercise and left ventricular dysfunction in T2DM as exercise can act as a valuable tool in LMICs where the burden of T2DM is increasing.
糖尿病性心肌病（DCM）是2型糖尿病（T2DM）的严重后果，也是全球主要的健康问题。超声心动图测量显示了T2DM对心脏的总体影响。运动有助于降低心血管疾病风险，并改善T2DM患者的血糖管理。本文献计量学研究的目的是描绘T2DM患者左心室功能障碍与运动的研究趋势。
在SCOPUS数据库中进行全面检索，关键词为“2型糖尿病”“糖尿病性心肌病”“运动”和“左心室功能”，使用布尔运算符AND、OR。检索时间段为1984年至2023年11月。数据导出到VOS Viewer（1.6.20）进行分析。
从数据库检索中获取了69篇文献。每年的文献数量呈稳步上升趋势，在1至5篇之间。发表文献数量最多的国家如下：美国、意大利、澳大利亚和英国。79.7%的文献为原创文章，18.8%为综述，1.4%为社论。大多数研究属于以下类别，即医学（69.9%）、生物化学（15.1%）、药理学（8.6%）和卫生专业（2.2%）。进行网络分析以探索基于共同作者、引文分析和共现的研究之间的关联。
文献计量分析表明，发表文献数量最多的是高收入国家，中低收入国家（LMICs），包括印度次大陆的贡献较小。有必要探索T2DM患者运动与左心室功能障碍的领域，因为在T2DM负担不断增加的LMICs中，运动可以成为一种有价值的工具。
