Analysis of cardiovascular (cvd)/coronary heart diseases(chd) using artificial neural network (ann)

Neural Network (ANN) is a very important research domain now a days. Artificial Neural Network , coupled with Data mining , is a very exciting field .In the health sector, Neural Network /Artificial neural networks, plays a very important roles,particularly, in the early prediction of diseases . In this paper, we are developing an ANN model for early detection of any kinds of Cardiovascular Disease(CVD) and Coronary Heart Disease(CHD). The results so obtaind, with respect to any heart patients, compared with the Doctors diagnosis and found satisfactory results. In some cases, up to even 90 % accuracy in predicting the diseases have been obtained. Heart diseases like RHD & MS, DCM, CAD, SSS, RBBB+LAFB, the average predicting accuracy is found more than 80%.
