(i) Ranking of top 10 countries based on contribution to the 10-year cardiovascular research output of each income group. The width of the bar represents magnitude of contribution. Numbers for each country are its CV publications integer counts as a percentage of total CV publication integer counts of its income group. (ii) Percentage increase in integer counts of cardiovascular publications in top 10 countries based on contribution to total research output of each income group from 2008 to 2017.
