❤️ Heart Disease — Exploratory Data Analysis
👤 Author
Oded Fuchs
🎯 Project Goal
The goal of this project is to explore which factors are most strongly related to heart disease,
using statistical analysis and data visualization.
🔍 Research Question
Which factors have the strongest impact on the likelihood of heart disease?
📦 Dataset
- Source: Kaggle
- Format: CSV
- ~302 samples
- Contains various clinical features
Target

🔧 Data Preparation
✅ Cleaning Steps
- Checked for missing values — none found
- Checked for duplicate records
- Verified valid ranges
- Adjusted and simplified column names
📊 Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
Target Distribution
✅ Key Features & Insights
1) Age
Patients with heart disease are slightly younger on average.
2) Chest Pain (cp)
One of the strongest predictors:
Higher chest pain type is strongly linked to heart disease.
3) Max Heart Rate (thalach)
Patients with heart disease tend to have a higher maximum heart rate.
4) ST Depression (oldpeak)
Lower oldpeak values are more common among heart-disease patients.
5) Exercise-Induced Angina (exang)
Most patients do not experience chest pain during exercise.
6) Thal
Moderate difference between groups, still noticeable.
📑 Summary Table
| Feature | No Disease (0) | Disease (1) | Insight |
|---|---|---|---|
| cp | 0.48 | 1.38 | Strong relationship |
| thalach | 139 | 159 | Higher among disease |
| oldpeak | 1.60 | 0.57 | Lower among disease |
| exang | 0.55 | 0.14 | Less common in disease |
| age | 56.6 | 52.4 | Slightly younger |
| chol | 251 | 241 | Small difference |
| ca | 1.16 | 0.37 | ⚠️ Opposite trend |
| trestbps | 134 | 129 | Weak effect |
| thal | 2.54 | 2.12 | Moderate effect |
✅ Main Insights
📌 Strong indicators of heart disease:
- Chest Pain (cp)
- Max Heart Rate (thalach)
- ST Depression (oldpeak)
- Exercise-Induced Angina (exang)
📌 Additional observations:
- Exercise-induced angina (exang) is less common among patients with heart disease
- Cholesterol and blood pressure show weaker relationships
cashows an unexpected pattern → may indicate data/coding issues
✅ Conclusions
Several clinical measurements appear strongly connected to heart disease, including chest pain type, maximum heart rate, and ST-related metrics.
Other features, such as cholesterol and resting blood pressure, show weaker influence.
