The key features of literature related to tongue diagnosis from CHD, including publication volume, region, institution, authors, and research hotspots, were analyzed using BICOMBS2.0, CiteSpace 6.1.R6, and Excel 2019 software.Results:Totally 364 Chinese articles and 5 English articles were included. Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine was the institution that published the most relevant research in Chinese, and Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine was the institution that published the most relevant research in English. Professor Wang Yiqin of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine was the author with the largest number of publications in both Chinese and English, and the authors with the largest number of publications on Chinese research worked closely cooperate with each other. Chinese research focused on syndrome characteristics of CHD, objectification of tongue diagnosis and data mining based on the clinical experience of renowned TCM practitioners; the English research topic included modern data collection and analysis and expert consensus.Conclusions:The research team of tongue diagnosis for CHD in China has begun to take shape. There are few English articles on tongue diagnosis for CHD, and the development level is relatively lagging behind.
