Case-Based Reasoning for Support of the Diagnostics of Cardiovascular Diseases.

In this paper we present a decision support system, which has been designed and implemented on the case-based reasoning principles. Our decision support system is being implemented in tight cooperation with the cardiologist, who represents the main future users of the system. Our system enables its user to find the most similar historical cases to a new patient, suggest the most probable result of the potential coronary angiography examination and also provide various useful visualizations to the cardiologist, who is responsible for the final decision about recommending the coronary angiography or not for the new patient. The first response from the cardiologist about our system is very promising.
