Heart Disease Prediction Using Artificial Neural Networks: A Survey

In order to remove the burden of heart disease (HD) physicians, recently more researchers have proposed to apply intelligent approaches, i.e., artificial intelligence to solve the HD prediction problem. According to our preliminary literature review of about 1685 related papers, it's found that, about one third of them were with ANN s. Therefore, this paper intends to provide an extensive survey of HD prediction for ANNs. When survey is completed, it's believed that the positive and effective research directions for intelligent HD prediction could be suggested and conducted.
