This document summarizes research on predicting cardiac arrest risk levels using machine learning techniques. It discusses how techniques like naive Bayes, support vector machine, KNN, logistic regression, decision trees, and random forests can be used to classify patient risk levels based on medical data. Accuracy rates from prior studies using these methods on cardiac datasets ranged from 60% to over 99%, depending on the techniques and attributes used. The document also outlines some challenges in cardiac risk prediction, such as choosing the appropriate dataset, attributes, algorithms and evaluating model performance.
