Abstract :
A teaching-oriented knowledge-structure for clinical arrhythmology is discussed. The database form has been adopted as the technique for knowledge representation. Available methodologies (entity relationship model, relational schemes, normalization of relations) are used in the analysis and planning of data. A relational database example in a Paradox environment, formed by a hundred relational schemes (more precisely, 43 for the rhythm diagnostical classes and 63 for those of beats), was developed during a long period of cooperation with a cardiologist
