Abstract: Myocardial Infarction (MI) better known as heart attack, is considered as one of the most alarming diseases that used to harm a great percentage of the male populace. However, the number of female patients suffering from the condition that was formerly known as the “old-man disease” is gradually increasing at the present time. Taking that into consideration, the researchers gathered enough data to come up with a predictive model that could be utilized in identifying the risk indicators for the mortality of female patients suffering from MI. By using different tools in data mining that contribute to a lot of great data discoveries up to date, the researchers made use of logistic regression, random forest, and decision tree to evaluate which technique can generate a diagnostic model with a higher accuracy rate. The generated prognostic models were based on a total of 9 significant attributes that were used to determine the risk indicators for the mortality of female patients suffering from MI. Upon conclusion, it turns out that among the three data mining techniques used in this study, logistic regression has the highest accuracy rate of 79% while random forest and decision tree resulted in 77% and 73% respectively. Medical practitioners could also use this study in discovering the characteristics that made up the clusters or groups of Myocardial Infarction patients that survived and characteristics that made up the clusters or groups of Myocardial Infarction patients that didn't. Determining the risk indicators of a female patient surviving MI tailors a more personalized way of treating the disease.
