Key result
US leads AF research, with electrophysiology, gene expression, and pathogenesis identified as hot topics.
Why the study?
Ion channel dysfunction is an important mechanism in the development of atrial fibrillation, but comprehensive bibliometric analysis of related research was lacking.
This bibliometric analysis identifies key trends, institutions, and future research hotspots in the field of atrial fibrillation and ion channels.

US dominance and AF research hotspots inform funding priorities; leaves clinical translation open.
Zhu et al. (2024) studied Atrial fibrillation and ion channels (n=3,179). Bibliometric analysis was evaluated on Bibliometric trends (active countries, institutions, journals, authors, hot topics). Bibliometric analysis of 3,179 citations revealed that the United States is the most active country, and cardiac electrophysiology, gene expression, and pathogenesis are hot topics in AF research.
