Automated Adjudication Of Cardiogenic Shock From Unstructured Clinical Notes Using An Open-Source Large Language Model, Devika Adusumilli, Luke Taylor, Claudius Mahr, Song Li

North Texas GME Research Forum 2026

Background Automated adjudication of cardiogenic shock (CS) from unstructured clinical documentation can facilitate clinical case finding and research trial/registry enrollment. While Large Language Models (LLMs) hold considerable promise, commercial cloud-based solutions raise data privacy and cost concerns. We assessed the performance of an open-source, locally run LLM for the adjudication of CS from unstructured progress notes.

Methods Patients from a 22-hospital healthcare system from 2021 to 2024 were identified using ICD-10 codes to form an enriched CS evaluation cohort with a ~1:1 case/non-case ratio. We selected gpt-oss-20b, an open-source LLM capable of running locally on a consumer-grade computer, and tested …

Cocaine Kicks Mitral Valve In The Pap- A Rare Case Of Papillary Muscle Rupture Secondary To Cocaine-Induced Ischemia Mimicking A Tumor Vs Vegetation, Greeshma Molugu, Seline Haci, Mehdi Khalafi, Amir Z. Malik, Machaiah Madhrira

North Texas GME Research Forum 2026

Background: Cocaine is known to have many cardiotoxic effects, specifically secondary to increased sympathetic output from the increased catecholamines, calcium modulation, and increased platelet aggregation. This can cumulatively cause suppression of myocardial contractility and decreased coronary blood flow, resulting in arrhythmias, myocardial ischemia, or even infarction. Papillary muscle rupture, already a rare complication of myocardial infarction (MI), is exceedingly rarely associated with cocaine toxicity in the absence of MI. Also, acute mitral regurgitation(MR) due to papillary muscle rupture from cocaine-induced ischemia remains exceedingly rare. We present a second-ever reported case of papillary muscle rupture secondary to cocaine-induced ischemia in the …

Antibody-Mediated Allograft Rejection 23 Years After Heart Transplant, Jorim Parmar, Boney Lapsiwala, Devika Adusumilli, Sienna Luk, Nguyen Dung, Song Li, Kamala Tamirisa

North Texas GME Research Forum 2026

INTRODUCTION: Orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) remains the gold standard treatment for patients with advanced heart failure refractory to optimal medical and device-based therapies. Despite advances in perioperative management, immunosuppressive regimens, and long-term surveillance protocols, graft rejection remains a major determinant of post-transplant morbidity and mortality [1]. We report a case, representing one of the longest documented intervals in literature, of suspected antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) occurring 23 years after heart transplantation in which conventional endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) could not be successfully performed. This case highlights the diagnostic uncertainty associated with very late AMR and underscores the potential role of clinical presentation, …

An Unusual Culprit Behind A Massive Pulmonary Embolism: Atypical May-Thurner Syndrome From Iliac Artery Aneurysm, Boney Lapsiwala, Jiaming Xue, Mayank Singh, Sai Krishan Reddy Dronadula, Sadia Zahid, Mian Yousef

North Texas GME Research Forum 2026

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major cause of global morbidity and mortality. May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is an iliofemoral venous compression syndrome caused by extrinsic compression of the left common iliac vein (LCIV), classically by the right common iliac artery at the level of the fifth lumbar vertebra. Although the estimated anatomic prevalence ranges from 18-49%, only 2-5% of cases are diagnosed during evaluation for lower-extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Clinical manifestations range from asymptomatic venous compression to unilateral leg swelling, venous insufficiency, and acute iliofemoral DVT, with pulmonary embolism (PE) reported infrequently.

Don’T Blame The Heart When On Steroids: A Rare Case Of Glucocorticoid Dependant Childhood Asthma Causing Non-Ischemic Dilated Cardiomyopathy, Greeshma Molugu, Srinivasan Rajaganapathy, Machaiah Madhrira, Karthik Anand

North Texas GME Research Forum 2026

Background: Steroids are known to have various cardiac side effects, such as hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death. They are also known to cause rare but potentially life-threatening cardiomyopathy. The mechanisms behind steroid-induced cardiomyopathy are multifactorial, potentially involving direct or indirect myocardial toxicity, such as tissue fibrosis, apoptosis, and alterations in cardiac remodeling pathways via the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Cardiomyopathy is known to occur with anabolic steroid use, but the literature on glucocorticoid-induced cardiomyopathy is scant. We present a rare case of glucocorticoid-induced dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM) in a patient with a history of refractory asthma who was treated …
