Medical diagnosis and treatment of diseases are the key elements of machine learning algorithms nowadays. To find similarities between various diseases, machine learning algorithms are used. Many people are now dying due to sudden heart attacks. Predicting and diagnosing heart disease is a daunting aspect faced by physicians and hospitals around the world. There is a need to foreknow whether or not a person is at risk of heart syndrome in advance, in order to minimize the number of deaths due to heart disease. In this field, machine learning algorithms play a very significant role. Many researchers are carrying out their research in this field to create software that can assist doctors to make decisions about cardiac illness prognosis. In this paper, Random Forest and AdaBoost ensemble Machine Learning Procedures are used in advance to predict heart disease. The datasets are handled in python programming by means of Anaconda Spyder IDE to validate the machine learning algorithm.
Background:
Disease diagnosis was a vital responsibility in healthcare. Machine learning classification methods would considerably improve the healthcare industry by providing a quick diagnosis of disease. Thus, time could be saved for doctors. Nearly 17.9 million people expire due to heart disease every year.
Objectives:
World Health Organization predicted that rate of death might increase by 24.5 million in 2030. Since heart illness was the major cause of death in comparison with other diseases today, it was the most challenging disease to diagnose.
Methods:
One of the reasons for death due to heart disease was due to the fact that risks were not identified in the earlier stage. Earlier diagnosis of disease was very much important. Machine Learning algorithms were used for predicting the prognosis of disease.
Results:
Here K-NN algorithm was used to predict the presence of heart disease in an individual. Thus, patients were classified as either positive or negative for heart disease and this model enhanced medical care and reduced the cost. This gave us significant knowledge that helps us to predict the patients with heart disease.
Conclusion:
The Python sci-kit library was used to implement this in Anaconda Navigator's Spyder Integrated Development Environment. Experiments revealed that technique worked well and was more accurate than before.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
