Description

Hey, I want to validate an algorithm on HR calculation using ECG signals from MIMIC III waveform and compare them to the HR related to those signals.
i know that MIMIC III waveform DB has also vital signs with a sample rate of 1/min, but i cant reach them.

1. what am I doing wrong?
2. how can I reach the vital signs of each waveform using the WFDB-python library?
3. maybe I am wrong, and MIMIC III waveform DB has no vital signs information?

@Michael-Fleicher-Etrog , it isn't clear what you tried but here is an example of how to read and plot the heart rate numerics from the MIMIC-III waveform database for a particular subject in WFDB-python:

import wfdb
rec = wfdb.rdrecord('3000003n', pn_dir='mimic3wdb/30/3000003', channels=[0])
wfdb.plot_wfdb(record=rec)

Please see wfdb.io for more information on the WFDB package.
