Rough-Fuzzy Classifier: A System to Predict the Heart Disease by Blending Two Different Set Theories

An Intelligent and Reliable Hyperparameter Optimization Machine Learning Model for Early Heart Disease Assessment Using Imperative Risk Attributes

Heart disease is a severe disorder, which inflicts an adverse burden on all societies and leads to prolonged suffering and disability. We developed a risk evaluation model based on visible low-cost significant noninvasive attributes using hyperparameter optimization of machine learning techniques. The multiple set of risk attributes is selected and ranked by the recursive feature elimination technique. The assigned rank and value to each attribute are validated and approved by the choice of medical domain experts. The enhancements of applying specific optimized techniques like decision tree, k-nearest neighbor, random forest, and support vector machine to the risk attributes are tested. Experimental results show that the optimized random forest risk model outperforms other models with the highest sensitivity, specificity, precision, accuracy, AUROC score, and minimum misclassification rate. We simulate the results with the prevailing research; they show that it can do better than the existing risk assessment models with exceptional predictive accuracy. The model is applicable in rural areas where people lack an adequate supply of primary healthcare services and encounter barriers to benefit from integrated elementary healthcare advances for initial prediction. Although this research develops a low-cost risk evaluation model, additional research is needed to understand newly identified discoveries about the disease.

A Systematic Review on Prediction Techniques for Cardiac Disease

Mortality rate can be lowered with early prediction of cardiac diseases, which is one of the major issue in healthcare industry. In comparison of traditional methods, intelligent systems have potential to predict these diseases accurately at early stage even with complex data. Various intelligent DSS are presented by researchers for predicting this disease. To study the trends of these intelligent systems, to find the effective techniques for predicting cardiac disease and to find the future directions are the objective of this study. Therefore this paper presents a systematic review on state-of-art techniques based on ML, NN and FL. For analysis, we follow PRISMA statement and considered the studies presented from 2010 to 2020 from different databases. Analysis concluded that ML based techniques are broadly used for feature selection and classification and have the potential for the prediction of cardiac diseases. The future directions are to evaluate the rarely used prediction techniques and finding the way of improving them for model generalization with better prediction accuracy.

Analysis of Machine Learning Algorithms in Health Care to Predict Heart Disease

This article describes how healthcare organizations is growing increasingly and are the potential beneficiary users of the data that is generated and gathered. From hospitals to clinics, data and analytics can be a very powerful tool that can improve patient care and satisfaction with efficiency. In developing countries, cardiovascular diseases have a huge impact on increasing death rates and are expected by the end of 2020 in spite of the best clinical practices. The current Machine Learning (ml) algorithms are adapted to estimate the heart disease risks in middle aged patients. Hence, to predict the heart diseases a detailed analysis is made in this research work by taking into account the angiographic heart disease status (i.e. ≥ 50% diameter narrowing). Deep Neural Network (DNN), Extreme Learning Machine (elm), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) learning algorithm (with linear and polynomial kernel functions) are considered in this work. The accuracy and results of these algorithms are analyzed by comparing the effectiveness among them.

Non-invasive detection of coronary artery disease in high-risk patients based on the stenosis prediction of separate coronary arteries

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE

Cardiovascular diseases are an extremely widespread sickness and account for 17 million deaths in the world per annum. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of such diseases with an annual mortality rate of about 7 million. Thus, early diagnosis of CAD is of vital importance. Angiography is currently the modality of choice for the detection of CAD. However, its complications and costs have prompted researchers to seek alternative methods via machine learning algorithms.

METHODS

The present study proposes a novel machine learning algorithm. The proposed algorithm uses three classifiers for detection of the stenosis of three coronary arteries, i.e., left anterior descending (LAD), left circumflex (LCX) and right coronary artery (RCA) to get higher accuracy for CAD diagnosis.

RESULTS

This method was applied on the extension of Z-Alizadeh Sani dataset which contains demographic, examination, ECG, and laboratory and echo data of 500 patients. This method achieves an accuracy, sensitivity and specificity rates of 96.40%, 100% and 88.1%, respectively for the detection of CAD. To our knowledge, such high rates of accuracy and sensitivity have not been attained elsewhere before.

CONCLUSION

This new algorithm reliably distinguishes those with normal coronary arteries from those with CAD which may obviate the need for angiography in the normal group.

Classification of coronary artery disease data sets by using a deep neural network

In this study, a deep neural network classifier is proposed for the classification of coronary artery disease medical data sets. The proposed classifier is tested on reference CAD data sets from the literature and also compared with popular representative classification methods regarding its classification performance. Experimental results show that the deep neural network classifier offers much better accuracy, sensitivity and specificity rates when compared with other methods. The proposed method presents itself as an easily accessible and cost-effective alternative to currently existing methods used for the diagnosis of CAD and it can be applied for easily checking whether a given subject under examination has at least one occluded coronary artery or not.
