Across the globe, heart diseases rank as the top cause of death, with their incidence steadily rising. However, early detection before a cardiac event (e.g., cardiac arrest) remains a significant challenge. Although the healthcare sector possesses extensive data on heart disease, the effective use of this data for timely detection is essential to protect from such events. This paper proposes an innovative approach using fuzzy logic (FL), convolutional neural network (CNN) models, and feature selection to more accurately assess the risk of heart attacks. Our study also emphasizes the importance of data preprocessing, including data transformation, cleaning, and normalization, to facilitate th... More >
