Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a multidisciplinary process for patients recovering after an acute cardiac event or with chronic cardiovascular disease that reduces mortality and morbidity and improves quality of life.

The primary goal of the 2 ARTs project is to propose a CR program centred on the assessment of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), grounded in evidence from intelligent data analysis methodologies and Machine Learning. The obtained model is intended to account for the effect of the intervention and to be adapted to individual suitability.
