APPLICATION OF ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK METHODS TO DETECT HEART ATTACKS

A heart attack is a medical emergency caused by restricted blood flow to the heart, commonly leading to myocardial infarction due to blood clots or fat accumulation. Early detection of heart disease is crucial to support prevention efforts and assist healthcare professionals in timely diagnosis and treatment. This study applies the Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN) algorithm as an intelligent computing method for heart attack detection. Experimental results demonstrate a prediction accuracy of 96.47%, confirming the effectiveness of artificial neural networks in identifying heart attacks in patients. These findings highlight the potential of BPNN as a reliable and precise early detection system, which can support more accurate clinical decision-making and improve the effectiveness of heart attack prevention and treatment.
