Abstract
Coronary Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the critical factors that are affecting the health of the population worldwide and in most cases affects the patient with cardiovascular diseases and their mortality. The onset of COPD in a patient in most of the cases affects him/her with cardio vascular disease and the management of the dis- ease becomes more complex for medical practitioners to handle. The factors affecting COPD and cardiovascular disease in patients are most of the times, concurrent and are responsible for their mortality. The list of factors and their underlying causes have been identified by experts and are treated with utmost importance before the patient suffers from an emergency condition and its management becomes even more difficult. This paper discusses the need to study COPD and the factors affecting it to avoid cardiovascular deaths. The dataset used for the study is a novel one and has been collected from a Government Medical College, for study and experimentation. Classi- fication methods like Decision Trees, Random Forest (RF), Logistic Regression (LR), SVM (Support Vector Machine), KNN (K-Nearest Neighbours) and Naive Bayes have been used and Random Forests have given the best results with 87.5% accuracy. The importance of the paper is in the attempt to infer important links between the associ- ated features to predict COPD. To the best of our knowledge, such an attempt to infer the decision regarding the prediction of COPD using Machine Learning classifiers has not been made yet. We have attempted to show an important correlation between the associated features of COPD and compare different supervised classifiers to check the prediction performance after pre-processing the raw data. Coronary Pulmonate, Age, and Smoking have shown a strong correlation with the presence of COPD and the per- formance analyses of the classifiers have been shown using the ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) curve.

Summary
The concern for deaths due to COPD and Cardiovascular diseases is increasing worldwide in an exponential manner. The presence of COPD in patients mostly makes them vulnerable to cardiovascular diseases and their mortality. It has been observed that a patient suffering from cardiovascular disease complains about COPD. This paper reveals the factors to be considered for patients with COPD for determining whether he is suffering from cardiovascular disease or not. COPD is characterized by obstruction in the air passages, which persist over a significant amount of time. It typically refers to bronchial asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema. Bronchial asthma is an allergic reaction that affects the respiratory tract, caused due to significant amounts of histamine in the blood.
