A Scoping Review of Machine Learning Techniques and Their Utilisation in Predicting Heart Diseases

Abstract

Heart diseases are diverse, common, and dangerous diseases that affect the heart's function. They appear as a result of genetic factors or unhealthy practices. Furthermore, they are the leading cause of mortalities in the world. Cardiovascular diseases seriously concern the health and activity of the heart by narrowing the arteries and reducing the amount of blood received by the heart, which leads to high blood pressure and high cholesterol. In addition, healthcare workers and physicians need intelligent technologies that help them analyze and predict based on patients’ data for early detection of heart diseases to find the appropriate treatment for them because these diseases appear on the patient without pain or noticeable symptoms, which leads to severe concerns such as heart failure and stroke and kidney failure. In this regard, the authors highlight an amount of literature considered the most practical in utilizing machine learning techniques in predicting heart disease. Twenty articles were chosen out of fifty articles gathered and summarised in a table form. The main goal is to make this article a reference that can be utilized in the future to assist healthcare workers in studying these techniques with ease and saving time and effort on them. This article has concluded that machine learning techniques have a significant and influential role in analyzing disease data, predicting heart disease, and assisting decision-making. In addition, these techniques can analyze data that reaches millions of cohorts.

Survey on the Significance of Artificial Neural Network

“…Various attempts were made to accomplish this mission by using terminology from the code snippets of these coding. Rather than using terminology for identification, this research looks at the capacity to detect a sequence of a computer language feature using a neural network called NeMo (High-performance spiking neural net simulation game) and evaluating the toolkit's capacity to just provide comprehensive interpretable outcomes [5][6][7].…”

Cardiovascular Disease Prediction through Ensembled Transfer Learning on Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging

“…This model achieved an accuracy of 96% with RF as the classifier. Mijwil and Shukur (2022) in their review paper summarized 20 research works using various ML and DL methods. They tabulated the techniques used and the accuracy achieved.…”

The Distinction between R-CNN and Fast R-CNN in Image Analysis: A Performance Comparison

“…These techniques are utilised to eliminate the risk of misdiagnosis, which may lead to the death of the patient [12][13][14][15][16][17]. Thanks to artificial intelligence and the growth of algorithms and devices, the error rate of diagnosis and human intervention has been reduced in the modern era [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Deep learning is one of the essential techniques of artificial intelligence and a branch of machine learning.…”
