ABSTRACT

 Heart disease is one of the most significant causes of mortality in the world today. Prediction of cardiovascular disease is a critical challenge in the area of clinical data analysis. Machine learning has been shown to be effective in assisting in making decisions and predictions from the large quantity of data produced by the healthcare industry. We have also seen machine learning (ML) techniques being used in recent developments in different areas. Various studies give only a glimpse into predicting heart disease with machine learning techniques. In this paper, we propose a novel method that aims at finding significant features by applying machine learning techniques resulting in improving the accuracy in the prediction of cardiovascular disease. The prediction model is introduced with different combinations of features, and several known classification techniques. We produce an enhanced performance level with accuracy level of 88.7% through the prediction model for heart disease with Hybrid Random Forest with Linear Model (HRFLM).
