Insights
Machine learning accurately detects coronary artery disease (CAD), offering a cost-effective diagnostic tool. Support vector machine (SVM) achieved the highest accuracy at 89.73%, aiding early preventive treatment.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Medicine
- Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
- Data Mining
Background:
- Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a prevalent cardiovascular condition with numerous risk factors.
- Current diagnostic and therapeutic methods for CAD are expensive and carry side effects.
- There is a need for cost-effective and accurate CAD detection methods.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the efficacy of machine learning algorithms for detecting coronary artery disease (CAD).
- To compare the performance of Support Vector Machine (SVM), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Random Forest algorithms in CAD prediction.
Main Methods:
- Utilized the Isfahan Cohort Study dataset, comprising 11,495 records and 19 features.
- Applied three data mining algorithms: Support Vector Machine (SVM), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Random Forest.
- Evaluated algorithm performance based on accuracy, sensitivity, and area under the curve.
Main Results:
- All three algorithms demonstrated comparable performance in detecting CAD.
- Support Vector Machine (SVM) achieved the highest accuracy at 89.73%.
- Key predictors for CAD included age, sex, sleep satisfaction, and medical history (stroke, palpitations, heart disease).
Conclusions:
- Machine learning algorithms, particularly SVM, can accurately detect CAD.
- This technology facilitates early diagnosis and timely preventive treatment for patients with CAD.
- The findings support the use of AI-driven tools in cardiovascular disease management.
Background:
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is known as the most common cardiovascular disease. The development of CAD is influenced by several risk factors. Diagnostic and therapeutic methods of this disease have many and costly side effects. Therefore, researchers are looking for cost-effective and accurate methods to diagnose this disease. Machine learning algorithms can help specialists diagnose the disease early. The aim of this study is to detect CAD using machine learning algorithms.
Materials And Methods:
In this study, three data mining algorithms support vector machine (SVM), artificial neural network (ANN), and random forest were used to predict CAD using the Isfahan Cohort Study dataset of Isfahan Cardiovascular Research Center. 19 features with 11495 records from this dataset were used for this research.
Results:
All three algorithms achieved relatively close results. However, the SVM had the highest accuracy compared to the other techniques. The accuracy was calculated as 89.73% for SVM. The ANN algorithm also obtained the high area under the curve, sensitivity and accuracy and provided acceptable performance. Age, sex, Sleep satisfaction, history of stroke, history of palpitations, and history of heart disease were most correlated with target class. Eleven rules were also extracted from this dataset with high confidence and support.
Conclusion:
In this study, it was shown that machine learning algorithms can be used with high accuracy to detect CAD. Thus, it allows physicians to perform timely preventive treatment in patients with CAD.
