Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a severe cardiac disease, and hence, its early diagnosis is essential as it improves treatment results and saves money on medical care. The prevailing development of quantum computing and machine learning (ML) technologies may bring practical improvement to the performance of CHD diagnosis. Quantum machine learning (QML) is receiving tremendous interest in various disciplines due to its higher performance and capabilities. Techniques for QML have the potential to forecast cardiac disease and help in early detection. To predict the risk of coronary heart disease, a hybrid approach utilising an ensemble machine learning model based on QML classifiers is presented in this paper. Our approach, with its unique ability to address multidimensional healthcare data, reassures the method’s robustness by fusing quantum and classical ML algorithms in a multi-step inferential framework. Reducing cardiac morbidity and mortality requires early detection of heart disease. In this research, a hybrid approach utilises techniques with quantum computing capabilities to tackle complex problems that are not amenable to conventional ML algorithms and to minimise computational expenses. The proposed method has been developed in the Raspberry Pi 4B Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) platform and tested on a broad dataset that integrates clinical and imaging data from patients suffering from CHD and healthy controls. The proposed research is developed with a hybrid approach...
