About

Three residents, one obsession.

CardioLADs is a cardiovascular research initiative run by three internal medicine residents who met through a shared habit of reading trials at unreasonable hours. We publish observational and evidence-synthesis research, build free teaching tools, and try to make cardiology easier to learn.

Portrait of Jay Gohri

Jay Gohri, MD

Internal Medicine Resident
University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine

Jay grew up in New Delhi, India. His interests lie in cardiology, with a particular focus on heart failure and transplant, and he is happiest when a question demands going several layers deeper than the abstract. He works extensively with artificial intelligence, training models to support the group's analyses, and he writes the group's manuscripts. Colleagues know him for his grit, his tenacity and a steady supply of puns.

Adhish Beri, MD

Internal Medicine Resident
University of New Mexico School of Medicine

Adhish is from Chandigarh, India. He is interested in all of cardiology, with a growing pull toward electrophysiology. Experienced in statistics, he is the group's go-to for research design and the person to hand the databases and subanalyses to. Sharp, determined and endlessly inquisitive, he is also genuinely good company.

Gunjan Kochhar, MD

Internal Medicine Resident
University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center

Gunjan is from Chandigarh, India. Her calm, approachable manner belies a formidable drive in research, and she is determined to build a career as a woman in cardiology. Her interests span all of cardiology. Deeply caring and easy to talk to, she is the connector of the group, building the collaborations that make its work possible.

What we work on

Research and tools

Cardiogenic shock and RV failure

The MILD study, a TriNetX comparison of milrinone versus dobutamine in cardiogenic shock with coded right ventricular failure, and related work on anticoagulation during temporary mechanical support.

Pulmonary embolism interventions

An RCT-only systematic review and meta-analysis of catheter-directed thrombolysis versus anticoagulation alone in intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism.

AI-assisted bedside echocardiography

A diagnostic accuracy review of artificial-intelligence guided point-of-care echocardiography for detecting left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

Depolarize

A physiology-driven ECG and electrophysiology serious game with a pilot evaluation and digital-health manuscript in progress. Play it.

VADPath

Structured bedside pathways for LVAD alarms and complications. Original idea by Dr. Rohan Samson. Open it.

Thirty Years

A PREVENT-based life-simulation game for cardiovascular risk communication. In development; it will appear on the Free apps page when it is ready.

How this site stays current

An automated job queries PubMed every hour for randomized trials, secondary analyses, guidelines and society statements from the major cardiology and general medical journals, keeps only cardiology, sorts each paper into a subspecialty and builds a one-minute read from the abstract. When you open the home page, your browser also asks PubMed directly for anything indexed since the last build, so new papers surface within minutes of appearing. The guideline library, conference calendar, drug reference and question bank are curated by hand and versioned in the site's repository.

Content is educational and aimed at clinicians. It is not medical advice and does not replace institutional protocols, the original publications or your own judgement.
