How to Get Data from the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database
<p>The <a href="https://www.physionet.org/content/mitdb/1.0.0/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database</a> is a set of <strong>30-minute heart rhythm recordings </strong>(AKA “electrocardiograms” or “ECGs”) from 47 patients from 1975 to 1979. The data is from a range of healthy to heart-diseased patients and is useful for practicing analyses of the heart using code.</p>
<p><strong>However, downloading and using the data is not straightforward. </strong>If you go to the <a href="https://www.physionet.org/content/mitdb/1.0.0/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">download page</a>, you’ll see a ZIP file and a bunch of <code>.atr</code>, <code>.hea</code>, and other obscure file types.</p>
