An active learning machine technique based prediction of cardiovascular heart disease from UCI-repository database

Heart disease is a significant global cause of mortality, and predicting it through clinical data analysis poses challenges. Machine learning (ML) has emerged as a valuable tool for diagnosing and predicting heart disease by analyzing healthcare data. Previous studies have extensively employed ML techniques in medical research for heart disease prediction. In this study, eight ML classifiers were utilized to identify crucial features that enhance the accuracy of heart disease prediction. Various combinations of features and well-known classification algorithms were employed to develop the prediction model. Neural network models, such as Naïve Bayes and Radial Basis Functions, were implemented, achieving accuracies of 94.78% and 90.78% respectively in heart disease prediction. Among the state-of-the-art methods for cardiovascular problem prediction, Learning Vector Quantization exhibited the highest accuracy rate of 98.7%. The motivation behind predicting Cardiovascular Heart Disease lies in its potential to save lives, improves health outcomes, and allocates healthcare resources efficiently. The key contributions encompass early intervention, personalized medicine, technological advancements, the impact on public health, and ongoing research, all of which collectively work toward reducing the burden of CHD on both individual patients and society as a whole.
