Özet: Cardiac echinococcosis is a rare but mortal disease. The primary goal of this study was to quantitatively examine, using bibliometrics tools, the publications and assess the hot issues and new directions in cardiac echinococcosis research from 1970 to December 2021. We only included "journal articles" and "reviews" in the study. The keywords "cardiac echinococcosis", "cardiac hydatid disease’ or "echinococcal heart disease" were used for the search. The search covered the years 1970 through December 2021. The data was extracted from the Web of Science database. Vosviewer software was used for network mapping. The research findings, which were based on the search strategy used, showed that between 1970 and 2022, there were 425 articles and reviews on cardiac echinococcosis that had been indexed in the Wos database. Most of the papers were from Türkiye (n=152). India (n=29), Iran (n=29), Tunisia (n=26) and France (n=22) were the other top publishing countries. The first publication was published in 1991. Although the number of publications increased after 1996, it emphasizes an irregular distribution. The publications were cited 3900 times in total and 9.18 times per publication, and the mean H-index was 28. There was an increase in the number of citations after 1995. There were 151 publications from Türkiye, and these publications were cited 1,327 times total, 8.79 per publication, and the mean H index was 18. The number of publications was not at the expected rate. The findings of our study may be helpful to researchers researching cardiac echinococcosis.
