Heart Disease Prediction by Using Machine Learning Algorithms

Abstract

Nowadays, one of the most important illness is heart disease which cause of mostly patients dead. Medical diagnosis of heart diseases is very difficult. While heart diseases are diagnosed medically, they can be confused with other diseases that show same symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations and nausea. This makes it difficult to diagnose heart diseases medically. In this study, the presence of heart diseases was determined by using machine learning algorithms. In this study, the data obtained from the patients were weighted according to their effects on the success rate. In this study, a method is proposed for determine weight coefficient. According to proposed method's results, 86,90% success was achieved with 13 different features obtained from the patients.
