The paper describes the investigation of the Hungarian public administrative health databases with the aim to identify hidden correspondences in the patients' evaluation pathways for patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). In our current work we investigated the effect of the waiting times of invasive and non-invasive investigations in the evaluation pathways of patients with suspected CAD. We found a considerable correlation between waiting times and the further course of the patients.
