Using non-linear models with machine learning software, 118 risk factors and their weighting of risk for all-cause mortality, heart failure (HF), acute coronary syndrome (ACS), ischemic stroke (IS), and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) were identified, where the top two risk factors were albumin/hemoglobin, left ventricular ejection fraction/history of HF, history of ACS/anti-platelet use, history of IS/deceleration time, and history of ICH/warfarin use. This evidence concerns the gene ALB and acute coronary syndrome.
