Insights
Mathematical models, including artificial neural networks (ANN), can effectively identify heart disease patients. The ANN model demonstrated superior accuracy compared to curve fitting, offering a non-invasive diagnostic tool for medical professionals.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Biomedical Engineering
- Data Science
Background:
- Chronic diseases, particularly heart disease, pose a significant global health challenge.
- Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the most prevalent form, leading to heart attacks.
- Traditional risk factors include hypertension, high cholesterol, and smoking, but accurate risk estimation remains complex.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop mathematical models for identifying patients with heart disease.
- To compare the efficacy of curve fitting and artificial neural network (ANN) models in cardiac patient identification.
- To provide a non-invasive method for early detection of heart disease.
Main Methods:
- Utilized a medical database of patients diagnosed with heart disease.
- Applied curve fitting techniques to model patient data.
- Employed artificial neural network (ANN) models for comparative analysis.
- Evaluated model performance using metrics such as R-squared, MAE, and RMSE.
Main Results:
- The curve fitting model achieved an R-squared value of 0.6337, MAE of 0.293, and RMSE of 0.3688.
- The ANN-based model demonstrated higher accuracy with an R-squared value of 0.8491, MAE of 0.20, and RMSE of 0.267.
- ANN provided superior mathematical modeling for identifying heart disease patients compared to curve fitting.
Conclusions:
- Artificial neural networks offer a more accurate approach to modeling and identifying heart disease patients.
- The developed ANN model can assist medical professionals in diagnosing heart conditions without invasive procedures like angiography.
- This research highlights the potential of AI in improving cardiovascular diagnostics and patient management.
Abstract:
Chronic diseases are the most severe health concern today, and heart disease is one of them. Coronary artery disease (CAD) affects blood flow to the heart, and it is the most common type of heart disease which causes a heart attack. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and smoking significantly increase the risk of heart disease. To estimate the risk of heart disease is a complex process because it depends on various input parameters. The linear and analytical models failed due to their assumptions and limited dataset. The existing studies have used medical data for classification purposes, which help to identify the exact condition of the patient, but no one has developed any correlation equation which can be directly used to identify the patients. In this paper, mathematical models have been developed using the medical database of patients suffering from heart disease. Curve fitting and artificial neural network (ANN) have been applied to model the condition of patients to find out whether the patient is suffering from heart disease or not. The developed curve fitting model can identify the cardiac patient with accuracy, having a coefficient of determination (R 2-value) of 0.6337 and mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.293 at a root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.3688, and the ANN-based model can identify the cardiac patient with accuracy having a coefficient of determination (R 2-value) of 0.8491 and MAE of 0.20 at RMSE of 0.267, it has been found that ANN provides superior mathematical modeling than curve fitting method in identifying the heart disease patients. Medical professionals can utilize this model to identify heart patients without any angiography or computed tomography angiography test.
