We investigated training therapeutic program effectiveness of the school “Stop a Stroke”, which aimed at reducing a risk of a stroke for patients with the atrial fibrillation. On the basis of two feature selection methods using a criterion of the discriminant analysis to determine the best feature subset, we concluded that patients, who trained at the school, in contrast to patients, who have not received training, take anticoagulants for a long time and have a higher level of knowledge about the atrial fibrillation.
