Myocardial fibrosis and glycolysis: a bibliometric study and visualization analysis (2000–2024)

Our bibliometric analysis reveals three pivotal trends: (1) The U.S. (32%) and China (20%) lead international collaborative networks; (2) Glycolytic reprogramming, oxidative stress, and metabolic interventions are prevalent research focuses; (3) Mitochondrial dysfunction and extracellular matrix remodeling are emerging frontiers. These findings clarify the glycolysis-fibrosis axis and provide a framework for targeted anti-fibrotic therapies.
