The MIT-BIH Long-Term ECG Database is a collection of 7 long-duration electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings (14 to 22 hours each), with manually reviewed beat annotations. The database was primarily developed to support research in the field of cardiac arrhythmia detection and analysis, and is a collaborative effort between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Beth Israel Hospital (BIH).
