Abstract :
A successful application of a new intelligent system design approach called Multimethod in knowledge extraction and discovery in heart attack areas is presented in this paper. The results show that the Multimethod approach is a powerful and promising technique enabling the conformation of existing medical knowledge and more interestingly, also enabling the induction of new facts and hypothesis, which can reveal some new interesting patterns and possibly improve the existing medical knowledge.
