Abstract: In this paper, we have proposed a medical diagnosis system for predicting the severity of the cardiovascular diseases. The system is built by combining the relative advantages of fuzzy logic, neural network and genetic algorithm. The input variables that are non-discrete are fuzzified and fed as input to train the neural network. The neural network is trained using a genetic algorithm and used to identify the fuzzy rules that are significant for the purpose of classification. The rules identified by the neural network are further pruned and stored in the knowledge base. The rules in the knowledge base are used by inference and forecasting subsystem to predict the severity of the disease, for a given set of input data. Using the proposed approach, we have obtained classification accuracy of 88.35%.
