Huge amount of data containing information deemed to be useful for effective decision making are collected and stored by
health care industries. The heart disease (HD) has been considered one of the complex and deadliest human diseases in the world. An
accurate and timely diagnosis of heart disease is crucial for heart disease prevention and treatment. Machine learning algorithms have
proven to be crucial in providing the desired solutions. However, it suffers from finding the best combination of features that improves
the classification accuracy of heart disease and maintain a balanced feature selection. In this paper, we propose new machine learning
based diagnosing framework that provides an improved feature selection approach and classification algorithms for the prediction of
heart disease. The framework combines Multiple Feature Evaluation System (MFES) and Naïve Bayes (NB) algorithm for the
experimentation on the heart disease dataset. The result showed that the MFES selects the best features and also, improves the
performance of the classification algorithm. In addition, the NB algorithm results showed an improvement in the prediction of accuracy
of the heart disease. The framework will assist the doctors in the diagnosing of patients efficiently.

We have presented a new framework, MFES-NB, to
address the issue of heart disease diagnosis. The model
introduces a number of experiments to evaluate its
performance. This system can help medical practitioner in
efficient decision making based on the given parameter.
We have train and test the system using a stratified 10-
folds cross validation and obtained an accuracy score of
72%. This model demonstrates promising result and gives
the patient to have early detection of heart disease
presence.
