Support Vector Machine (SVM) models can predict heart disease with high accuracy (91.67%) using major health factors from electronic health data.

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease refers to any critical condition that impacts the heart. Because heart diseases can be life-threatening, researchers are focusing on designing smart systems to accurately diagnose them based on electronic health data, with the aid of machine learning algorithms. This work presents several machine learning approaches for predicting heart diseases, using data of major health factors from patients. The paper demonstrated four classification methods: Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and Naïve Bayes (NB), to build the prediction models. Data preprocessing and feature selection steps were done before building the models. The models were evaluated based on the accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The SVM model performed best with 91.67% accuracy.
