Identification of Cardiovascular Mortality Risk in Patients with Respiratory Disease

Abstract

Circulatory and respiratory diseases are the leading cause of death. Recent studies suggest that respiratory diseases can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, yet the reason is unknown. In this study, an artificial neural network model is built to predict the possibility of death due to cardiovascular disease with given respiratory conditions. Data shows that cardiovascular disease was an underlying cause for approximately 16.8 percent of the patients suffering from respiratory diseases. Chronic lower respiratory disease has the highest number of deaths, with 72,125 cases. Further studies are needed to find the exact symptoms causing death due to an underlying cause of cardiovascular diseases with respiratory diseases as one of its multiple conditions
