Abstract Heart disease, alternatively known as cardiovascular disease, encases various conditions that impact the heart and is the primary basis of death worldwide over the span of the past few decades. It associates many risk factors in heart disease and a need of the time to get accurate, reliable, and sensible approaches to make an early diagnosis to achieve prompt management of the disease. Data mining is a commonly used technique for processing enormous data in the healthcare domain. Researchers apply several data mining and machine learning techniques to analyse huge complex medical data, helping healthcare professionals to predict heart disease. This research paper presents various attributes related to heart disease, and the model on basis of supervised learning algorithms as Naïve Bayes, decision tree, K-nearest neighbor, and random forest algorithm. It uses the existing dataset from the Cleveland database of UCI repository of heart disease patients. The dataset comprises 303 instances and 76 attributes. Of these 76 attributes, only 14 attributes are considered for testing, important to substantiate the performance of different algorithms. This research paper aims to envision the probability of developing heart disease in the patients. The results portray that the highest accuracy score is achieved with K-nearest neighbor.

Introduction Over the last decade, heart disease or cardiovascular remains the primary basis of death worldwide. An estimate by the World Health Organization, that over 17.9 million deaths occur every year worldwide because of cardiovascular disease, and of these deaths, 80% are because of coronary artery disease and cerebral stroke [1]. The vast number of deaths is common amongst low and middle-income countries [2]. Many predisposing factors such as personal and professional habits and genetic predisposition accounts for heart disease. Various habitual risk factors such as smoking, overuse of alcohol and caffeine, stress, and physical inactivity along with other physiological factors like obesity, This article is part of the topical collection “Advances in Computational Approaches for Artificial Intelligence, Image Processing, IoT and Cloud Applications” guest edited by Bhanu Prakash K N and M.

hypertension, high blood cholesterol, and pre-existing heart conditions are predisposing factors for heart disease. The efficient and accurate and early medical diagnosis of heart disease plays a crucial role in taking preventive measures to prevent death. Data min
