Abstract：Objective To analyze the current research status and hotspots of cardiogenic shock (CS) and predict future trends,and provide reference for researchers. Methods We searched the medical literature via the Web of Science and extracted all relevant publications about CS published between 2012 and 2021. The R package and VOSviewer software were used to analyze the publication trends in CS research. Results A total of 6007 publications were analyzed. The number of articles on CS has increased twofold in the past 10 years. The United States accounted for the largest number of articles (33.3％) and ranked first in the number of citations (30043),followed by Germany in the number of articles (7.9％) and citations (13435). The Journal of the American College of Cardiology had the highest number of publications (8.96％) in this field. Dr. H. Thiele has published the most papers (209) in this area,has attained the highest citation frequency (2189),and earned an h-index of 36. CS-related keywords were ranked according to their year of appearance in the selected time period (2012-2021). The keyword "venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation" (VA-ECMO) had the most recent time of appearance,with an average appearing year (AAY) value of 2,018.96. Conclusions In the past 10 years,the interest related to CS has continued to increase. Research related to mechanical circulatory support may become a hot topic in the future.
