Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of mortality globally, necessitating accurate diagnostic tools for early detection and intervention. This paper presents a comprehensive comparative and hybrid analysis of quantum and classical machine learning models for heart disease prediction using the UCI Cleveland dataset. We implement classical baseline models including Logistic Regression, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and XGBoost, alongside quantum models: Quantum Support Vector Machine (QSVM) with statevector fidelity kernels, Variational Quantum Classifier (VQC) with data-reuploading ansätze, and Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks (QCNN) with parametric pooling. The primary contribution is the development of a hybrid quantum classical ensemble meta-classifier that fuses predictions from all classical and quantum learners using XGBoost as a meta learner. Experiments conducted in Google Colab using Qiskit 1.2+ and Penny Lane 0.36+ demonstrate that the proposed hybrid ensemble achieves superior performance with 98.33accuracy, 100perfect AUC-ROC of 1.0, substantially outperforming standalone classical models (best: 88.33(best: 80hybrid model’s superiority.

Cardiovascular disease remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, making early and accurate risk prediction essential. Conventional machine learning models often struggle to handle complex medical data, resulting in limited accuracy and reduced interpretability. To address these challenges, this study presents a hybrid prediction framework that combines Quantum Machine Learning (QML) with ensemble learning techniques. Classical models such as Support Vector Classifier (SVC) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) are used as baseline approaches. In addition, quantum models including QSVC, Variational Quantum Classifier (VQC), and Quantum Neural Network (QNN) are employed to capture complex non-linear patterns present in clinical data. To further enhance performance, a Bagging-QSVC ensemble model is proposed, improving robustness and overall classification accuracy. Interpretability is incorporated using SHAP, allowing the model’s predictions to be more transparent and easier to understand in a clinical context. Experimental results indicate that the proposed quantum ensemble achieves an accuracy of around 90%, outperforming both classical models and individual quantum models. Furthermore, a real-time user interface is developed, enabling clinicians to input patient data and receive immediate risk predictions. Overall, the system provides a reliable and interpretable solution suitable for practical clinical decision support.
Early and accurate prediction of cardiovascular disease is essential to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. This research presents a hybrid classical–quantum machine learning framework for heart disease prediction using the Cleveland dataset. The proposed pipeline integrates advanced feature engineering, bio-inspired optimization, and quantum-inspired learning to improve classification performance and interpretability. The system applies multiple feature selection techniques followed by a hybrid feature fusion strategy. Orthogonal Component Analysis is then used for dimensionality transformation, while quantum-inspired feature mapping simulates quantum state coding. A feature selection mechanism based on a Genetic Algorithm optimizes the subset of features. Classical and quantum machine learning models are evaluated, including Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, K-Nearest Neighbors, Logistic Regression, Quantum Support Vector Classifier, Variational Quantum Classifier, Quantum KNN, and Quantum Neural Networks. Model performance is evaluated using accuracy metrics. To ensure transparency and trustworthiness, explainable AI techniques such as SHAP, LIME and DiCE are integrated to provide local and global interpretability of predictions. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed hybrid framework improves predictive performance by achieving 90% accuracy compared to traditional machine learning approaches, while maintaining model explainability. The model achieved an overall accuracy of 90%, indicating strong predictive capability in cardiovascular disease risk classification. A detailed analysis of class-wise performance shows that for Class 0, the model obtained a precision of 0.85, a recall of 0.97, and an F1-score of 0.90, demonstrating excellent ability to correctly identify negative cases with minimal false negatives. For Class 1, the model achieved a precision of 0.96, a recall of 0.84, and an F1-score of 0.90, indicating high confidence in positive predictions, though with slightly lower recall compared to Class 0. This study highlights the potential of combining classical feature engineering, evolutionary optimization and quantum-inspired learning for next-generation medical decision support systems. The integration of quantum-inspired techniques also provides a promising direction for improving computational efficiency and model robustness in healthcare analytics. The findings suggest that hybrid classical–quantum learning approaches can support clinicians in making faster and more reliable diagnostic decisions.
