Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are any serious illness of the heart, which require accurate diagnosis to prevent fatal consequences. Hyperparameter tuning plays a critical role in optimizing machine learning model performance by selecting the most suitable parameter configurations for improved accuracy, generalization, and reliability. Grid search systematically evaluates predefined hyperparameter combinations, whereas random search samples configurations randomly from the search space enabling broader exploration with reduced computational cost. Therefore, an efficient tuning strategy is essential when developing classification models where time plays an crucial role along with the predictive capability. In this work, we propose a new hyperparameter tuning approach to tune the hyperparameters of ML models for CVD classification. The proposed random grid search combines the power of random search to explore the global space with the focused and exhaustive search of grid search in the most promising areas. This hybrid approach finds an optimal balance between exploration and exploitation and yields a robust and time-efficient ML model for classification seetings. Experimental results on state of the art models demonstrated that randomised grid search performed better than traditional hyperparameter tuning methods. In addition to the observed improvement in model performance, the computational time required for training models was substantially reduced across most of the models. Presented results of the proposed study emphasizes the reduction in training time and computational efficiency of the proposed Randomized-Grid Search method. The proposed technique has significant potential to advance ML application in healthcare providing timely and accurate CVDs diagnosis.
