Abstract

Heart disease is a leading cause of mortality worldwide, characterized by the buildup of plaque in the arteries, which can lead to severe cardiovascular complications. Predicting heart disease is complex due to the need to analyze multiple risk factors, such as age, cholesterol, and blood pressure. This study develops a predictive model for earlyheart disease detection using data mining techniques to enhance timely and accurate diagnosis. The model combines multiple machine learning timely and accurate diagnosis. The model combines multiple machine learning algorithms, including Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, and a hybrid ensemble approach to improve prediction accuracy and reliability. The methodology follows five phases: data collection, data pre-processing, feature extraction, model construction, and model evaluation. Data was gathered from publicly available health repositories, preprocessed to remove missing values and irrelevant information, and subjected to feature extraction techniques to identify influential predictors. The hybrid model was trained and tested using an 80:20 data split and evaluated against various classification algorithms. It achieved an accuracy of 97.56%, precision of 98.04%, and recall of 97.09%, outperforming individual models. These results highlight the effectiveness of the hybrid approach in supporting early interventionfor heart disease, particularly in healthcare settings with limited diagnostic resources. This study demonstrates that advanced data mining techniques provide a viable solution for improving patient outcomes through the early detection of heart disease.
