Abstract

The increase in the global prevalence of cardiovascular diseases has raised great concern among health professionals worldwide, making the advancement of knowledge in this field even more important. The aim of the study was to perform a bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature in Latin America on cardiovascular pathologies from 2003 to 2023. The methodology was based on a bibliometric and quantitative analysis of the literature. The scientific production indicators were generated from 6660 documents selected from Scopus using keywords in English ("diseases" and "pathologies"). The number of publications devoted to the subject increased by 89% between 2009 and 2022. Brazil is the country with the highest scientific production (63.9%), and the Universidade de São Paulo with the most publications (n=1277). The journal Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia had 684 publications, with Lotufo, P.A. (n=60) being the author with the most papers. It is concluded that cardiovascular diseases are important, as they are the main cause of disability and premature death, and both have an impact on increasing the cost of medical care. As a consequence, there has been an increase in the number of medical studies dedicated to this pathology in Latin America and the rest of the world.
