How to load MIT-BIH ECG database in R

Question

I want to load the MIT BIH ECG format samples in R but I am having a hard time. There is a MATLAB tool for this as I have found here Load MIT-BIH Arrhythmia ECG database onto MATLAB

Is there any way to get the sample ECG files to load in R?

Thanks

You can try these steps:

1. Download Octave, which is a free open-source version of Matlab.

2. In Octave, use the physiotool to load the ECG data.

3. In Octave, save the data that you want to a .mat file with save.

4. In R, use the R.Matlab package.
