Researchers have developed a novel multimodal learning framework that integrates chest X-rays (CXRs) with clinical histories for improved prediction of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE). This framework utilizes a causal reinforcement learning approach with a dual-LLM architecture to separate reasoning from risk prediction and optimize evidence selection. Evaluated on internal, emergency department, and MIMIC datasets, the system demonstrated superior performance over unimodal baselines and existing medical vision-language models, achieving high AUROCs and improved reasoning quality.
