RFMiner: Risk Factors Discovery and Mining for Preventive Cardiovascular Health

Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. It is critical to identify the risk factors associated with cardiovascular diseases and to alert individuals before they experience a heart attack. In this paper, we propose RFMiner, a risk factor discovery and mining framework for identifying significant risk factors using integrated measures. We provide the blueprints for accurately predicting the possibility of heart attacks in the near future while identifying notable risk factors - especially the factors which are not well recognized.
