The accuracy of coronary artery disease (CAD) diagnosis is dependent on a variety of factors, including demographic, symptom, and medical examination, ECG, and echocardiography data, among others. In this context, artificial intelligence (AI) can help clinicians identify high-risk patients early in the diagnostic process, by synthesizing information from multiple factors. To this aim, Machine Learning algorithms are used to classify patients based on their CAD disease risk. In this study, we contribute to this research filed by developing a methodology for balancing and augmenting data for more accurate prediction when the data is imbalanced and the sample size is small. The methodology can be used in a variety of other situations, particularly when data collection is expensive and the sample size is small. The experimental results revealed that the average accuracy of our proposed method for CAD prediction was 95.36, and was higher than random forest (RF), decision tree (DT), support vector machine (SVM), logistic regression (LR), and artificial neural network (ANN).
