Data mining on Coronary heart disease
Data mining, also known as data discovery and data knowledge is the process of analyzing hidden patters of data using the specified approach desired in order to extract useful information, collected and assembled into common topics for effective analysis to facilitate decision making (The Economic Times, (2018). This approach can be used in trying to determine whether there is a common trend in the genetic origin of individuals who suffer from the cardiac complication and whether age has to do with the acceleration of this condition. This project will involve extensive data mining process with the focus being as large as possible number of individuals suffering from the disease drawn from different races.
In the process of data mining in coronary heart disease and the possible genetic connection, there will be aspects that will be of interest. The area of residence of the individual and the origin in terms of where their great grandparents came from will be of interest. The number of immediate family members suffering from the disease, the number of extended family members suffering from the disease, the age of the individuals whose details have been canvassed, the age at which their coronary heart disease were first officially documented will also be of great importance in narrowing down on the history of the individual. There will also be coverage of the trend of treatment that the individuals took and the ultimate outcome. It will also be interesting to know if the individuals are alive, died from the disease or recovered fully. Such details will help in the prediction of the trend of this disease and use the available data to see the possible medical approaches that can help save lives.
Data mining is important in such research since it helps pick out the automatic pattern prediction on trends, prediction based on likely outcome, creation of decision oriented information and lastly clustering based on the facts found out and ultimate visual documentation of groups of facts that were previously not known.

Heart Disease and the Elderly The objective of this work in writing is to examine how heart disease takes a toll elderly. Toward this end, this work will conduct a review of literature that examines the toll that heart disease takes on the elderly population. Approximately 18 million people or 7% of all individuals in the United States have heart disease. Heart disease affects older people more significantly as the elderly are
For example, some prescription drugs have been shown to increase risk for heart disease (Fries, nd). In particular, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which are commonly prescribed for relieving the pain associated with arthritis, have been shown to cause heart-related side effects (Fries, nd). Unfortunately, patients who suffer from chronic pain sometimes need to choose between increasing their risk for heart disease and coping with severe chronic pain. Interestingly, though,
Heart Disease (CAD: Coronary Artery Disease) Online web site HeartPoint defines Coronary Artery Disease as Coronary artery disease generally refers to the buildup of cholesterol in the inside layers of the arteries. As shown here, this will slowly narrow the flow of blood through the vessel, and the muscle it supplies will not get enough blood. The plaque weakens the wall. As shown in the lower artery, a crack may develop
The estimated age-adjusted prevalence of angina in women age 20 and older were 3.5% for non-Hispanic white women, 4.7% for non-Hispanic black women and 2.2% for Mexican-American women. Rates for men in these three groups were 4.5, 3.1 and 2.4%, respectively. Among American adults age 20 and older, the estimated age-adjusted prevalence of coronary heart disease for non-Hispanic whites is 8.9% for men and 5.4% for women; for non-Hispanic
Macabasco-O'Connell et.al say that the stress levels for women in this group is oftentimes higher than non-minority women in higher socioeconomic groups. The high amount of stress that these women experience is usually accompanied with depression and studies have shown that depression can also lead to a greater risk of heart disease (2, 3). Because many women from lower socio-economic statuses are uninsured or underinsured, they run the risk
In fact, dietary lipids, serum cholesterol, and sodium are linked directly with heart disease. Diets high in sodium lead to hypertension, or high blood pressure, which is also linked with the malady. Thus, a decrease in the amount of saturated fat and cholesterol for all people, as well as limiting the amounts of total fat, processed sugars, and calories for those who are overweight, is recommended for preventing the
