Cardiovascular disease and heart failure represent major worldwide health issues, mostly due to changes in lifestyle, food, and occupational settings. Timely identification is essential for improving survival rates, and machine learning (ML) provides effective instruments for forecasting the risk of cardiovascular illnesses in people. This research evaluates several ML algorithm, including Linear Regression, Decision Trees, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, GNB, kNN, to identify the best effective method for predicting cardiac disease. Our objective is to develop a model that healthcare practitioners may use to improve diagnostic precision and patient management by evaluating huge medical datasets. The Decision Tree method proved to be the most precise, with a 92% accuracy rate, indicating its significant potential for clinical applications. These results highlight the significance of machine learning in improving early identification, risk assessment, and patient outcomes in cardiovascular care. The research used extensive medical datasets including patient data, including age, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and other risk variables, to train and assess the efficacy of each algorithm. The objective was to develop a prediction model for healthcare providers to augment diagnosis accuracy and optimize patient treatment. Of the algorithms evaluated, the Decision Tree proved to be the most successful, with an accuracy rate of 92%. The increased accuracy underscores the Decision Tree’s significant potential for use in clinical settings, where precise prediction of cardiac disease is crucial for prompt intervention. Its capacity to manage intricate information and provide readily comprehensible outcomes makes it especially attractive for healthcare applications.
