A Machine Learning-Based Approach to Detect Survival of Heart Failure Patients

One of the diseases with high prevalence among the consequences of cardiovascular diseases is heart failure. Heart failure is a condition in which the muscles in the heart wall become faded and dilated, limiting the heart’s ability to pump blood. As time passes, the heart cannot meet the proper blood requirement in the body, and as a result, the person has difficulty breathing. As the human age increases, the incidence of heart failure gradually increases, and the rate of mortality due to heart failure also increases. In this context, close monitoring of people suffering from this disease will significantly increase the survival rate. In this study, a machine learning-based system is proposed to predict the mortality-survival status of patients with heart failure. Thus, by identifying people with mortality risk, the survival probability of the patients may increase with more effective and close follow-up.
