The dataset was preprocessed and used to train five machine learning models: random forest, support vector machine, logistic regression, extreme gradient boosting and light gradient boosting. The goal was to use the best performing model to develop a web application capable of reliably predicting heart disease based on user-provided data. The extreme gradient boosting classifier provided the most reliable results with precision, recall and F1-score of 97%, 72%, and 83% respectively for Class 0 (no heart disease) and 21% (precision), 81% (recall) and 34% (F1-score) for Class 1 (heart disease). The model was further deployed as a web application. %K Heart Disease %K US Center for Disease Control and Prevention %K Machine Learn-ing %K Imbalanced Data %K Web Application %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=131163
