Abstract: In this paper, a Knowledge Discovery task has been implemented with the aim of developing models for predicting cardiovascular worsening events in Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) patients. A set of patients suffering from CHF were enrolled and carefully evaluated through a five-year follow-up. Several predictive models were developed on the collected data and then compared. Among these, the decision tree based predictive model has been analysed by clinical experts. The decision tree is among all the trained and tested models the most simple and interpretable mainly by clinicians because it discovers if-then rules. The extracted rules are compliant with previous clinical studies. Nevertheless, the decision tree achieved lower performance compared to the other predictive models, which conversely to the decision tree are not “clinician friendly” because they do not provide an explanation of the classification decisions.
