Recommendations for antiarrhythmic drugs based on latent semantic analysis with fc-means clustering

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel model for the appropriate recommendation of antiarrhythmic drugs by introducing a fusion of a latent semantic analysis and k-means clustering. Our model not only captures the latent factors between the types of arrhythmia and patients but also has the ability to search a group of patients with similar arrhythmias. The performance studies conducted against the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database show that clinicians accepted 66.67% of the drugs recommended from our model with a balanced f-score of 38.08%. Comparative study with previous approach also confirms the effectiveness of our model. © 2016 IEEE.
