Abstract
An expert system implemented for studying chronic venous insufficiency is described. This disease is actually classified into three possible stadia, but studies performed on several patients showed that a further stadium exists. The system has been used for statistical evaluations of patient symptoms to detect those characterizing this stadium. An architecture for the expert system is proposed, with emphasis on the implementation of the knowledge base
