Declining or Waning
- Traditional Risk Factors:
Research focusing solely on traditional cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia is becoming less frequent, as newer studies integrate these factors with emerging health issues like metabolic syndrome and mental health. - Basic Cardiovascular Physiology:
The exploration of fundamental physiological studies related to cardiovascular function has seen a decrease, likely overshadowed by more applied clinical research that addresses immediate health care needs. - Isolated Surgical Techniques:
There appears to be a waning interest in isolated studies of specific surgical techniques without comprehensive evaluations of broader clinical outcomes or long-term follow-up data. - Historical Epidemiological Data:
There is a reduction in publications solely relying on historical data without contemporary relevance, as the journal shifts towards more current and actionable research findings. - Single-Country Studies:
Research that limits its scope to single-country findings is becoming less frequent, with an increasing emphasis on multi-country comparisons and regional studies that reflect broader trends.
