With the use of cutting-edge algorithms and big

for detecting cardiac disease. In order to create precise and

models can analyse a wide range of data sources, including
clinical assessments, imaging data, and genetic information.
This strategy may increase the precision and effectiveness
of heart disease diagnosis, allowing for earlier intervention

To increase the precision and robustness of cardiac
disease detection, ensemble learning is an approach that
combines different machine learning models. Additionally,
ensemble learning can lessen overfitting and increase the
generalizability of themodel.

Deep learning is a method for analysing complicated

datasets, such as genetic data or medical imaging, by
training artificial neural networks with several layers. The
ability of deep learning to identify heart disease and other
medical diseases has shown encouraging out comes. Using
patterns in the data, Support Vector Machines (SVMs), a
well-liked machine learning technique, may categorise data
into several groups. SVMs have been utilised successfully in
the identification of heart disease, especially when combined Fig 3 Confusion Matrix

integration of these technologies has resulted in significant  Model Deployment

as "black boxes" because they offer no information about

for clinicians and researchers to comprehend the reasoning
behind the predictions they produce.
