Machine learning approaches as an alternative to traditional statistical methods in cardiovascular risk prediction

Abstract

Machine Learning (ML) algorithms have proven promising methodologies in improving Cardiovascular (CV) risk predictors based on traditional statistics. In the present work, two case studies are reported: CV risk prediction in patients affected by Inflammatory Arthritis (IA), with attention to Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA), and patients who experienced Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS).
