Abstract
Heart disease is one of the leading cause deaths of worldwide. Prediction of cardiovascular infection is a critical challenge in the area of clinical data analysis. Data mining techniques are providing an effective decision and significant results on data that are used widely for predicting. The purpose of this paper is to propose a novel approach with aims to find a noteworthy method to diagnose heart disease prediction. In this research, a unique dataset was created by combining the Cleveland dataset and Stalog heart disease datasets collected from the UCI ML repository. The new dataset contains 14 medical parameters such as age, sex, blood pressure, and 568 instances for training and prediction heart disease. This paper offers a novel methodology of NNDT (Neural Network and Decision Tree) that uses Neural Network for training model and Decision Tree to test classification for better heart disease prediction. The performance of the proposed approach have been compared with Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine, Neural Network, Voted Perceptron, and Decision Tree algorithms. The results showed that the accuracy and performance improved as compared to other techniques and methods. This study enables the researchers to analyze the heart disease data with a new approach to predict heart diseases to maintain human health.
