The study presents the field of Cardiology literature records retrieved form MEDLINE database for the period 1991-2010. This research shows that maximum number of records i.e. 829 was during 2000, followed by 826 in 2003 and 789 in 2002. Relative Growth Rate (RGR) and Doubling Time (Dt) were found to be an increasing and decreasing trend shown during the period of study. The paper reveals a study of the authorship pattern and collaborative research in the field of Cardiology. The study measures the performance based on several parameters, country annual growth rate and collaborative index. The degree of collaboration mean score is 0.70 and highest score is 0.88 in 1991 exhibits during the period of study.
