Enhancing Cardiac Health: Machine Learning in Coronary Artery Disease Prediction
摘要
The alarming surge in cardiovascular diseases, with a particular focus on Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), is causing premature fatalities. This escalation is exacerbating the inefficiency of the diagnostic process, burdened by both time constraints and the strain on human resources, as more patients endure extended wait times for diagnosis. Addressing this pressing issue calls for the fusion of analytical decision-making with digital patient data, aiming to develop a robust and efficient predictive model for early-stage cardiac illness. Machine Learning (ML) emerges as a promising tool to bolster CAD detection and prognosis within the healthcare sector. This chapter introduces an ML-based approach for CAD prediction, leveraging the Z-Alizadeh Sani dataset sourced from the UCI repository. The classification task is tackled using three distinct ML models—Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Decision Tree (DT), and Random Forest (RF). The findings underscore the superior performance of ANN, achieving an impressive 89.01 percent accuracy in CAD diagnosis.
