BACKGROUND: Heart failure (HF) is characterized by elevated morbidity, mortality, and rehospitalization frequencies. This condition imposes a considerable medical burden and fiscal strain on society. Inflammation plays a crucial role in the inception, advancement, and outcome of HF. Despite mounting evidence demonstrating the pivotal function of the NLRP3 inflammasome in HF, a thorough bibliometric examination of research focal points and trajectories in this domain has yet to be undertaken. METHODS: Publications related to the NLRP3 inflammasome in HF were retrieved from the Web of Science database spanning 2010-2024. The acquired data were subsequently analyzed utilizing various visualization instruments, including Citespace, VOSviewer, Scimago Graphica, and Microsoft Office Excel 2021. RESULTS: A total of 282 papers were included in the analysis, authored by 2,130 researchers from 500 institutions across 34 nations/regions. China emerged as a significant contributor to this field, producing the highest number of outputs. Antonio Abbate was identified as the most prolific author. Virginia Commonwealth University and Wuhan University were the institutions with the highest publication output. CONCLUSION: This investigation provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis and synopsis of NLRP3 inflammable-related studies in HF. The findings offer a conceptual foundation for further research on the NLRP3 inflammasome in HF and provide valuable guidance for future research directions in this domain.
