Prediction of Angina Pectoris
摘要
Angina pectoris is the clinical term for chest discomfort associated with cardiovascular disease. It happens when the cardiac muscle is not getting enough oxygenated blood. Ischemia is a disorder in which some or all of the heart’s arteries are constricted or blocked. Many persons who are originally suspected of having angina have normal coronary angiograms, indicating that they do not, in fact, have angina. A feasibility study was conducted to determine the practicality of a preliminary screening test. Information on a variety of possible risk factors was collected for a large number of patients suspected of having angina, and then their angina status was documented. The major goal of this research was to see which health characteristics, if any, are linked to angina and whether a subset of them might be utilized to predict the dependent variable angina status. More specifically, being able to estimate the risk/probability that a person with a specific mix of these health indicators has angina would be beneficial. Furthermore, estimating the individual effects of relevant factors would be interesting.
