Global trends and hotspots in macrophage research related to hypertension from 2015-2024: bibliometric research and visualization analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypertension continues to be a global health and economic burden, conventionally characterized by a chronic inflammatory state. Macrophages are critical for the initiation, progression and manifestation of hypertension. As studies on the relationship between macrophages and hypertension increase substantially, identifying critical research areas and unraveling potential interaction mechanisms become increasingly essential.

Methods

Articles associated with hypertension and macrophages in recent 10 years were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection for analysis, using Microsoft Excel, VOSviewer, CiteSpace and Scimago Graphica.

Results

After excluding studies that did not meet inclusive standard based on time (2015-2024) and type (article or reviews)
