Feature-Optimised Heart Disease Prediction Using Machine Learning Techniques
Subject area: Biological & Medical Sciences · Area of research: Machine Learning in Cardiology

Abstract
Heart disease is a major cause of mortality worldwide, making early and accurate prediction essential for effective clinical intervention. This paper presents a feature-optimized heart disease prediction framework using machine learning techniques to improve diagnostic performance. The proposed approach incorporates data preprocessing, feature optimization, and classification to identify the most relevant clinical attributes while reducing redundancy. Several machine learning algorithms, including Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and XGBoost, are evaluated using standard performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and ROC-AUC. Experimental results demonstrate that feature optimization enhances prediction accuracy and model efficiency, with ensemble-based methods achieving superior performance. The proposed framework offers an effective decision-support tool for the early detection of heart disease and has the potential to assist healthcare professionals in improving diagnostic accuracy and patient care.
