- Cardiovascular diseases, particularly Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), are major causes of death, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis methods to reduce costs and fatalities.
- This study focuses on identifying stenosed coronary arteries without relying heavily on ECG changes, instead utilizing risk factors, physical exams, and specific new features from a dataset of 303 patients.
- Using algorithms like C4.5, Naïve Bayes, and k-nearest neighbor (KNN), the study achieved diagnosis accuracies of 74.20% for Left Anterior Descending, 63.76% for Left Circumflex, and 68.33% for Right Coronary Artery.

Being among the major types of these diseases, correct and in-time diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) is very important. Angiography is the most accurate CAD diagnosis method; however, it has many side effects and is costly.
