PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF THE DEEP LEARNING MODELS IN THE CLASSIFICATION OF HEART ATTACK AND DETERMINATION OF RELATED FACTORS

Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to classify the condition of having a heart attack and determine the related factors by applying the deep learning method, one of the machine learning methods, on the open-access data set. Materials and Methods: In this study, deep learning method was applied to an open-access data set named “Health care: Data set on Heart attack possibility”. The performance of the method used was evaluated with accuracy, sensitivity, selectivity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value. The factors associated with having a heart attack were determined by deep learning methods and the most important factors were identified. Results: Accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value obtained from the model were 0.814, 0.804, 0.823, 0.809 and 0.834 respectively. The most important 3 factors that may be associated with having a heart attack were obtained as thal, age, ca. Conclusion: The findings obtained from this study showed that successful predictions were obtained in the classification of having a heart attack by the deep learning method used. In addition, the importance values of the factors associated with the model used were estimated.
