Abstract

Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Early prediction and diagnosis are critical in preventing severe outcomes and improving the quality of life for patients. This project focuses on developing a robust heart disease prediction system using machine learning techniques. By analyzing a comprehensive dataset consisting of various patient attributes such as age, sex, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and other medical parameters, the system aims to predict the likelihood of a patient having heart disease. The project employs various machine learning algorithms such as Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Random Forests to classify the data and provide an accurate prediction. The system's performance is evaluated using metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score, ensuring that it can offer reliable results in real-world applications. Furthermore, feature selection techniques are applied to identify the most significant factors contributing to heart disease, thus improving the model's interpretability. The proposed solution is intended to aid healthcare professionals by providing early alerts and recommendations, ultimately facilitating timely interventions.
