Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death globally, and early detection can significantly improve outcomes for patients. Machine learning (ML) models can help diagnose CVDs early, but their performance is limited by the data available for model training. Privacy concerns in healthcare make it harder to acquire data to train accurate ML models. Federated learning (FL) is an emerging approach to machine learning that allows models to be trained on data from multiple sources without compromising the privacy of the individual data owners. This survey paper provides an overview of the current state-of-the-art in FL for CVD detection. We review the different FL models proposed in various papers and discuss their advantages and challenges. We also compare FL with traditional centralized learning approaches and highlight the differences in terms of model accuracy, privacy, and data distribution handling capacity. Finally, we provide a critical analysis of FL's current challenges and limitations for CVD detection and discuss potential avenues for future research. Overall, this survey paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art in FL for CVD detection and to highlight its potential for improving the accuracy and privacy of CVD detection models.
