Cardiothoracic literature
CardioThoraxia
Precision PubMed search and AI abstract insight, built for cardiothoracic surgery.
About CardioThoraxia
CardioThoraxia is a literature search and analysis tool for cardiothoracic surgeons, trainees, and researchers. Instead of writing complex PubMed query strings, you build searches from curated cardiothoracic topics, combine them with AND or OR, emphasize a primary topic, and add optional refinements.
The topic taxonomy covers cardiac, thoracic, congenital, transplant, aortic, vascular, and surgical domains and is organized by clinical workflow rather than generic medical categories. Advanced Search lets you edit the underlying PubMed query directly.
An optional AI Insight subscription generates structured, academic-style interpretations of PubMed abstracts, including a one-sentence takeaway, study type and population, intervention and comparator, key findings, limitations, and cardiothoracic surgery implications.

Important notes
AI Insight is generated from PubMed abstract text and metadata only, not the full text. It is for literature interpretation and education and does not provide medical advice. Always review the original article before applying findings in practice. AI Insight is an auto-renewing subscription managed through your Apple ID.
