Abstract: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most dreadful clinical syndrome affecting a multitude of people globally and it increases the morbidity rate every year. Early detection of CAD is very important for appropriate treatment which can stop complications like heart failure. The clinical health data can effectively be used for the non-invasive detection of CAD. In this work, we employ deep neural network (DNN) for developing a heart disease prediction model. The proposed model has been tested on ZAlizadeh Sani dataset from UCI and the results show that the DNN classifier improves prediction accuracy significantly. The performance improvement of 75.7% using DNN architecture has been achieved when compared to K-nearest neighbour (KNN).

Keywords: CAD; coronary artery disease; heart disease; data mining; machine learning; deep learning; DNN; deep neural network; KNN; classification.
