Visual analysis of research literature on traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of coronary heart disease based on CiteSpace and VOSviewer
Objective To review the literature on traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)for the treatment of coronary heart disease(CHD),explore the research hotspots and current status in this field,and provide refer-ences for in-depth research on CHD and the development direction of this field.Methods The literature re-lated to TCM in the treatment of CHD in the past 11 years retrieved from CNKI was retrieved by computer.CiteSpace 6.3.R1 and VOSviewer 1.6.20 visualization software were used to analyze the literature.Results A total of 4 793 articles were included.From the perspective of publication time,there has been a declining trend in research literature on TCM for the treatment of CHD in the past two years.The main research institu-tions include Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,The Affiliated Hospital of Liaoning Univer-sity of Traditional Chinese Medicine,and Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.The 3 309 aca-demic journal articles were published in 329 journals,with 1 129 articles(34.12％)published in Chinese sci-ence and technology core journals and 278 articles(8.40％)published in Chinese core journals.National fund support ranked first.Currently,a stable core author group has not yet formed in this field.Keyword analysis revealed that the research types include literature research,experimental study,and clinical study,with the combined use of TCM herbs and external TCM therapies for the treatment of CHD being a research hotspot in this field.Conclusion Future efforts in this field should strengthen academic exchanges between institutions in different locations and achieve multi-center collaboration.It is important to keep abreast of technological ad-vancements,improve the quality of literature research and experimental studies,and increase the number of clinical studies with high-level evidence to provide a solid basis for the theory and practice of TCM interventions for CHD.
