Energy expenditure estimation in beta-blocker-medicated cardiac patients by combining heart rate and body movement data

Conclusions
Our results show that combining HR and body movement data improves the accuracy of energy expenditure prediction models in cardiac patients, similar to methods that have been developed for healthy subjects. The proposed methodology does not require individual calibration and is based on the data that are available in clinical practice.
