Overview

Top Research Topics at Esc Heart Failure?

The journal investigates areas of study like Heart failure, Internal medicine, Cardiology, Ejection fraction and Hazard ratio. The journal served as a forum through which researchers explored different topics like Heart failure and In patient. Confidence interval, Cohort, Proportional hazards model, Odds ratio and Blood pressure are among the concentrations of Internal medicine that garnered much attention in the journal.

The work on Cardiology addressed in it expands to the thematically related Diastole. Issues in Ejection fraction were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Renal function, Diabetes mellitus, Clinical endpoint, Valsartan and Dilated cardiomyopathy. Esc Heart Failure dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Hazard ratio and Interquartile range.

  • Heart failure (91.43%)
  • Internal medicine (76.71%)
  • Cardiology (57.42%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Heart failure: preventing disease and death worldwide. (567 citations)
  • Improving care for patients with acute heart failure: before, during and after hospitalization (163 citations)
  • Muscle wasting and sarcopenia in heart failure and beyond: update 2017. (104 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Esc Heart Failure:

The most cited articles focus largely on the fields of Heart failure, Internal medicine, Cardiology, Ejection fraction and Intensive care medicine. The Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction studies presented in the published papers fall under the field of Heart failure, but they also have connections to other fields such as In patient. The most cited articles investigate Internal medicine research which frequently intersects with Endocrinology.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Internal medicine
  • Heart failure
  • Disease

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Esc Heart Failure focuses largely on the fields of Heart failure, Internal medicine, Cardiology, Ejection fraction and Hazard ratio. Esc Heart Failure deals with Heart failure in conjunction with Confidence interval and similar fields in Mortality rate. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, Proportional hazards model, Blood pressure, Odds ratio and Clinical endpoint are some of the study areas of Internal medicine discussed.

In addition to Cardiology research, the journal aims to explore topics under Diastole and Heart rate. The journal focuses on Ejection fraction but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Interquartile range, Diabetes mellitus, Cardiomyopathy, Quality of life and Dilated cardiomyopathy. It explores issues in Hazard ratio which can be linked to other research areas like Stroke, Incidence (epidemiology) and Retrospective cohort study.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Heart failure after myocardial infarction: incidence and predictors. (15 citations)
  • Increased mortality and worse cardiac outcome of acute myocardial infarction during the early COVID-19 pandemic. (11 citations)
  • Myocardial injury in severe COVID-19 is similar to pneumonias of other origin: results from a multicentre study. (11 citations)

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 4.42% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 19.44% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.59% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 19.26% of all publications and 53.70% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Best Learning Resources for Emerging Researchers

Effective learning resources are invaluable for researchers who are just stepping into the world of research. It's often recommended for these researchers to gain practical experience and expand their knowledge in their area of interest through practical courses and trainings. Especially for those involved in Internal medicine and Cardiology research, considering Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) programs can prove beneficial. These programs provide vast knowledge on multiple facets of medical practice including heart failure, blood pressure management, and more.

For researchers based in Virginia, there are several accredited and renowned institutions offering these programs. The best of these are compiled in a comprehensive guide on the online lpn programs virginia. This selection includes some very flexible online LPN programs which have been proven to be a great starting point for researchers in the medical field. Undoubtedly, pursuing such practical programs can significantly boost the research potential of emerging researchers, enhancing their understanding and expertise in key subjects intensively discussed in journals such as Esc Heart Failure.
