Hypertension Diagnosis Using Fuzzy Expert System

Hypertension, also referred to as high blood pressure, is a condition in which the arteries have persistently elevated blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing up against the blood vessel walls. The higher the pressure the harder the heart has to pump. Hypertension can lead to damaged organs, as well as several illnesses, such as kidney failure, heart failure, stroke, or heart attack. High blood pressure during middle age may raise the risk of cognitive decline later in life. So for the better diagnosis and treatment of hypertension patients, an intelligent and accurate system is needed. In this study, we design fuzzy expert system to diagnose hypertension for different patients. Fuzzy expert system is based on set of symptoms and rules. The input parameters for this system are age, body mass index, blood pressure, heart rate, diabetes, physical activity, genetics and the output parameter is risk of hypertension. It is expected that this proposed Fuzzy Expert System can provide a faster, cheaper and more accurate result. KeywordsDiabetes, fuzzy expert system, genetics, hypertension
