Abstract

This study explores the efficacy of an ensemble machine learning approach, specifically a Voting Classifier combining Decision Tree, k-Nearest Neighbors, and Gaussian Naive Bayes classifiers, in predicting cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Utilizing a dataset consisting of 70,000 clinical records, the model was rigorously tested through 5-fold cross-validation, achieving remarkable results with average accuracies, precision, recall, and F1-scores all exceeding 99%. The findings validate the hypothesis that ensemble models, due to their capacity to leverage multiple learning algorithms, provide superior prediction accuracy and reliability compared to single predictor models. This research not only confirms the effectiveness of ensemble methods in medical diagnostics but also highlights their potential to enhance decision-making in clinical settings. Given the model's success in identifying various stages of cardiovascular conditions with high accuracy, it offers significant implications for early intervention and personalized patient management. Future research should aim to validate these results across more diverse populations and explore the integration of additional predictive factors that could refine the model's applicability. This study contributes to the computational health field by demonstrating how advanced machine learning techniques can be effectively applied in predicting health outcomes.
