Artificial Intelligence Based Decision Support System Approach in Peripheral Artery Disease Detection

Abstract

Peripheral arterial diseases (PAD) are circulatory system diseases that occur due to reduced blood flow due to plaque accumulation or narrowing in the veins of the legs. In this study, Ankle-Braid Index (ABI) was used for the diagnosis of PAH and the method was supported by an artificial intelligence-based classification model. A custom-designed device capable of recording both systolic and diastolic blood pressure from two arms and two legs was developed. From the dataset containing 948 individuals, several derived features were obtained, including mean arterial pressure, pulse pressure, and body mass index; age was also included among the variables used in the analysis. In order to eliminate class imbalance, the data was multiplied by 50% with the Gaussian Noise-Based Augmentation technique. The Multilayer Artificial Neural Network model classified individuals with ABI < 1.0 as “at risk”. The model successfully classified risky individuals with 97.3% accuracy in the validation data and 98.7% in the test data.
