Declining or Waning
- Traditional Risk Factors:
Research on established cardiovascular risk factors like cholesterol levels and hypertension has seen a decline, possibly due to a growing interest in novel biomarkers and lifestyle factors. - Open-Heart Surgery Techniques:
As minimally invasive procedures gain popularity, the volume of research dedicated to traditional open-heart surgery techniques appears to be decreasing. - Electrophysiology Techniques:
While still important, the volume of studies focusing on older electrophysiology techniques may be decreasing as newer technologies and methods emerge. - Basic Science Research:
Investigations into basic cardiovascular physiology and pathology seem to be less prevalent, with a shift towards more applied clinical research. - Longitudinal Cohort Studies:
There appears to be a reduction in the number of longitudinal cohort studies as the focus shifts towards more immediate clinical outcomes and interventional studies.
