Heart disease diagnosis using data mining technique

Abstract

Data mining is an advanced technology, which is the process of discovering actionable information from large set of data, which is used to analyze large volumes of data and extracts patterns that can be converted to useful knowledge. Medical data mining has a great potential for exploring the hidden patterns in the data sets of medical domain. These patterns can be utilized to do clinical diagnosis. These data need to be collected in a standardized form. From the medical profiles fourteen attributes are extracted such as age, sex, blood pressure and blood sugar etc. can predict the likelihood of patient getting heart disease. These attributes are fed in to K-means algorithms, MAFIA algorithm and Decision tree classification in heart disease prediction, applying the data mining technique to heart disease treatment; it can provide as reliable performance as that achieved in diagnosing heart disease. By this medical industries could offer better diagnosis and treatment of the patient to attain a good quality of services. The main advantages of this paper are: early detection of heart disease and its diagnosis correctly on time and providing treatment with affordable cost.
