Abstract :
Applying international guidelines in medical, including cardiological, therapies is a guarantee of safe and modern treatment. Unfortunately, standards are often not obeyed. In this paper we present an experimental software program based on rough sets methods. The main aim of this application is to improve patient care and help the decision process using guidelines verification. We concentrate on the practical aspects using these methods. Examples and clinical tests, which were based on real-life data of our patients, show that the accuracy of results reached on a large group of patients could be acceptable in clinical practice
