Face Analysis for Coronary Heart Disease Diagnosis

CHD (Coronary Heart Disease) is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease deaths. Invasive coronary arteriography is one of the widely used approaches to diagnose CHD. However, the time cost and expenses for most of the diagnosis methodologies are high and some patients are reluctant to do such a diagnosis. In this paper, we aim to develop a novel low cost method to predict CHD. As suggested by the cardiologists, there are substantial differences between the facial images of patients with CHD and those of healthy subjects. In this paper, we conduct an automatic analysis of the texture features extracted from eight ROIs (Regions of Interests) of the face images. Based on the texture features, random forest and decision tree are used to predict whether the subject has a CHD, or not. The experimental results on a set of 1528 face images collected from 309 subjects suggest that, our approach achieved a promising, i.e. 72.73%, prediction accuracy.
