This work describes our experiences in discovering association rules in medical data to predict heart disease. We focus on two aspects of this work: mapping medical data to a transaction format suitable for mining association rules, and identifying useful constraints. Based on these aspects we introduce an improved algorithm to discover constrained association rules. We present an experimental section explaining several interesting discovered rules.
