A proposal for the fuzzy evaluation of ischaemic episodes

The authors describe a method that permits the classification and later comparison of ischaemic episodes detected by a system for the automatic monitoring of patients. They want to obtain an evaluation of the seriousness of the episodes as a function of a set of factors, out of which, one of the most important is the existence of previous ischaemic episodes with a similar morphology. They have applied fuzzy techniques in mimicking in the best possible manner the way in which the human expert operates during the evaluation of these episodes.
