Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide, necessitating improved methods for early diagnosis and prevention. This study focuses on the development and comparison of four machine learning models-Logistic Regression, Random Forest, TabNet, and CatBoost to predict the risk of cardiovascular disease using structured clinical data. Furthermore, we implement SHAP (SHapley Additive Explanations) to provide interpretability and insight into each model's predictions. The dataset used comprises over 69,000 patient records with various clinical and lifestyle features. Among the models, CatBoost emerged as the top performer in terms of accuracy and AUC score. SHAP analysis revealed that features like age, systolic blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight significantly influenced the predictions. This study demonstrates the feasibility and utility of integrating explainable AI with predictive modeling in medical diagnostics, promoting transparency and trust in clinical decision-making.
