    The study involved 1,246 individuals with stable angina from 43 clinical centers in China to develop a machine learning model for heat-sensitive angina.

  • 2

    A random forest model was developed using 14 predictors, demonstrating strong predictive performance during both training and external validation.

  • 3

    The model's performance was assessed using metrics such as AUC, sensitivity, specificity, and F1 score, indicating its robustness.

  • 4

    Exploratory analysis suggested that patients identified as high risk for heat-sensitive angina experienced increased angina frequency in summer.

  • 5

    The study highlights the need for further validation of the random forest model before it can be routinely applied in clinical settings.
