Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The regular uptake of a high-fat diet (HFD) with changing lifestyle causes atherosclerosis leading to cardiovascular diseases and autonomic dysfunction. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the correlation of autonomic activity to lipid and atherosclerosis markers. Further, the study proposes a support vector machine (SVM) based model in the prediction of atherosclerosis severity.
