Heart Failure Prediction by Feature Ranking Analysis in Machine Learning

Heart disease is one of the major cause of mortality in the world today. Prediction of cardiovascular disease is a critical challenge in the field of clinical data analysis. With the advanced development in machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI) and data science has been shown to be effective in assisting in decision making and predictions from the large quantity of data produced by the healthcare industry. ML approaches has brought lot of improvements and broadens the study in medical field which recognizes patterns in the human body by using various algorithms and correlation techniques. One such reality is coronary heart disease, various studies gives impression into predicting heart disease with ML techniques. Initially ML was used to find degree of heart failure, but also used to identify significant features that affects the heart disease by using correlation techniques. There are many features/factors that lead to heart disease like age, blood pressure, sodium creatinine, ejection fraction etc. In this paper we propose a method to finding important features by applying machine learning techniques. The work is to design and develop prediction of heart disease by feature ranking machine learning. Hence ML has huge impact in saving lives and helping the doctors, widening the scope of research in actionable insights, drive complex decisions and to create innovative products for businesses to achieve key goals.
