Background:

• Cardiovascular diseases are the leading global cause of death, claiming 17.9 million lives annually.
• Accurate and timely diagnosis of heart disease is critical for patient survival and effective treatment.
• Existing diagnostic methods can be enhanced with advanced computational approaches for improved outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:
