Feature selection for medical diagnosis: Evaluation for using a hybrid Stacked-Genetic approach in the diagnosis of heart disease [PDF]
Background and purpose: Heart disease has been one of the most important causes of death in the last 10 years, so the use of classification methods to diagnose and predict heart disease is very important. If this disease is predicted before menstruation, it is possible to prevent high mortality of the disease and provide more accurate and efficient ...

Beyond Barker: Infant Mortality at Birth and Ischaemic Heart Disease in Older Age [PDF]
Adverse conditions in early life can have consequential impacts on individuals' health in older age. In one of the first papers on this topic, Barker and Osmond 1986 show a strong positive relationship between infant mortality rates in the 1920s and ischaemic heart disease in the 1970s.

Early Prediction of Heart Disease Using PCA and Hybrid Genetic Algorithm with k-Means [PDF]
Worldwide research shows that millions of lives lost per year because of heart disease. The healthcare sector produces massive volumes of data on heart disease that are sadly not used to locate secret knowledge for successful decision making. One of the most important aspects at this moment is detecting heart disease at an early stage. Researchers have
