Global research trends on chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: a bibliometric analysis (January 2000–January 2024)

The number of publications on CTEPH has increased over the last two decades, and CTEPH has become a significant topic in both respirology and cardiology. Our results indicate that future research in this field will continue to focus on elucidating the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this disorder, improving diagnostic accuracy, and developing novel imaging techniques. The integration of existing therapeutic modalities and the elucidation of right ventricular dysfunction are key areas of research.
