The Heart Disease Program produces detailed causal diagnostic hypotheses for patients with cardiovascular diseases. This poster discusses our experience with summarizing these hypotheses for the physician. The basic approach is to merge the nodes of the structure indicating causal mechanism into the more important nodes. Analysis of the results shows that to generate effective summaries the identification of syndromes is very important, the definitions of the labels need to be carefully enforced, the causality of diseases should be supported by evidence and not just probability, and the sense of causal order must be carefully preserved.
心脏病项目为心血管疾病患者生成详细的因果诊断假设。本海报讨论了我们在为医生总结这些假设方面的经验。基本方法是将表示因果机制的结构节点合并到更重要的节点中。结果分析表明，为了生成有效的总结，综合征的识别非常重要，标签的定义需要严格执行，疾病的因果关系应该有证据支持而不仅仅是可能性，并且必须谨慎保留因果顺序感。
