As cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of global mortality, there is an urgent demand for early and precise diagnostic tools. ML models hold considerable potential by utilizing large-scale healthcare data to enhance predictive diagnostics. To systematically investigate this field, the literature is organized into five thematic categories such as “Heart Disease Detection and Diagnostics,”“Machine Learning Models and Algorithms for Healthcare,”“Feature Engineering and Optimization Techniques,”“Emerging Technologies in Healthcare,”and “Applications of AI Across Diseases and Conditions.” The review incorporates performance benchmarking of various ML models, highlighting that hybrid deep learning (DL) frameworks, e. g., convolutional neural network-long short-term memory (CNN-LSTM) consistently outperform traditional models in term","cbCaikoc9BHnWXX8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikoc9BHnWXX8","pdf",7446828,6,1,31,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Background of the study\n# Thematic categories and literature organization\n## Heart Disease Detection and Diagnostics\n## Machine Learning Models and Algorithms for Healthcare\n## Feature Engineering and Optimization Techniques\n## Emerging Technologies in Healthcare\n## Applications of AI Across Diseases and Conditions\n# Model performance and benchmarking\n## Hybrid deep learning frameworks\n# Real-world deployment\n## Clinical and wearable settings\n# Future directions and ethics\n## Dataset limitations and model transparency","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the review address in heart disease prediction?\",\"answer\":\"The review addresses the need for early and precise diagnostic tools for heart disease, given that cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of global mortality.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the literature organized in the review?\",\"answer\":\"The review organizes the literature into five thematic categories covering detection/diagnostics, healthcare ML models, feature engineering and optimization, emerging healthcare technologies, and broader AI applications across diseases and conditions.\"},{\"question\":\"Which approaches are highlighted as performing well and why?\",\"answer\":\"The review highlights hybrid deep learning frameworks such as CNN-LSTM as consistently outperforming traditional models, with improved sensitivity, specificity, and AUC metrics.\"}]","A comprehensive review of machine learning for heart disease prediction -
