Early prediction of cardiovascular disease using artificial neural network

Abstract In recent years, there has been a noticeable rise in the mortality rate, and heart disease is a significant contributor to this trend. According to the California Association for Diabetes Investigation, by 2015, cardiovascular disease would be the primary cause of death in India, where 62 billion people live. Deficiencies in the heart’s ability to pump blood to and from the rest of the body are the leading cause of cardiovascular disease. The healthcare industry is a prime example of a sector poised to greatly benefit from the availability of massive amounts of data and analytical insights. Increasingly, it will be important to extract medical data to predict and treat the high fatality rate caused by heart attacks. Every day, humanity generates terabytes worth of data. Medical errors with dire effects can be avoided only with high-quality services. Hospitals can reduce the price of expensive clinical testing by using decision support systems. Hospitals in the modern-day use hospital information systems to keep track of patient records. The health care sector generates vast amounts of data, but little of it is really put to good use. It will be important to adopt a new strategy to reduce costs and make accurate predictions about heart disease. To determine which machine learning and deep learning approaches are most useful and accurate for predicting and classifying cardiac illnesses, this article reviews the existing literature on the topic and subsequently tries to detect the most probable factors leading to heart disease. This study introduces and models an artificial neural network methodology for identifying potential cardiovascular disease risk factors. In this study, we examine and present the various full and partial correlations among risk attributes. In addition, a number of risk variables are analysed to generate a predicted list of risk features most likely to result in cardiovascular disease.
