ANT+ heart rate belt can be replaced by ANTware ANT+ master. There is a posibility to send reverse broadcast from mentioned example application (ANT_HRMRX_ANT_CHANNEL slave) EVERY EVENT_RX (246ms spacing) back to ANTware master but you must do that manually with sd_ant_broadcast_message_tx. ANTware will show you, how many packets are lost.

@Nestor Matas If there is something you find difficult I recommend you add a new question explaining.

That's a heart rate MONITOR example, where only messages are received, and nothing is sent. That's the easy part, as you only have to hook to the RX events and do whatever you need. What I find most difficult is the transmitting part, as it seems that in ANT mode you transmit when the radio signals it has ended processing the last previous ANT message, while in BLE the examples set a timer to do the task of sending BLE messages at regular intervals. I'm not sure which one is the correct way, and if you use both mixed, problems may arise if you try to send ANT message while the timer has started a BLE transmission. You can end up losing messages and that's not pretty.

There is an example for ANT+ heart rate profile running together with BLE in examples\multiprotocol\ble_ant_app_hrm
