Innovation in technologies for cardiovascular disease has been an ever-growing field due to disease chronicity, intervention complexity and global clinical burden. Variation in innovation capacity due to underlying regional environments, however, gives rise to clustering of regional innovation systems that determine the patterns of innovation and diffusion. In this project, we identify regional innovation systems of cardiovascular devices in Europe and examine their determinants by using bibliometric data of the largest biomedical database worldwide.
