The incidence of heart disease is concerning, and timely detection is essential for improving the health of patients. Machine learning has shown potential in assisting in the prognosis of heart conditions. This research evaluated the effectiveness of various machine learning algorithms, including Random Forest, XGBoost, LGBM, and CatBoost, in accurately predicting instances of heart disease. Furthermore, we suggested a hybrid model that integrates all four models, yielding a 97.50% accuracy rate, 0.98% precision value, 0.97% recall value, and 0.98% F1-score. This hybrid model surpasses both individual models and current methodologies. The study utilized the “Heart Failure Prediction Dataset” acquired from Kaggle, which consisted of 11 prevalent variables such as age, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. These findings indicate that the hybrid model has promise as a powerful tool for predicting heart disease.
