Abstract: Recent studies have identified coronary artery disease (CAD) as a leading cause of death globally. Early detection of CAD is crucial for reducing mortality rates. However, accurately predicting CAD poses challenges, particularly in treating patients effectively before a heart attack occurs due to the complexity of data and relationships in traditional methodologies. This research has successfully developed a machine learning model for CAD prediction by combining K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) Classifier techniques. The model, trained and tested on a dataset of 918 samples (508 with cardiac issues and 410 healthy cases), achieved an accuracy of 82% for KNN, 84.3% for SVM, and 88.7% for the hybrid model after rigorous training and testing.

Keywords: Coronary Artery Disease, Machine Learning and Heart Disease.
