HF, high-frequency power; LF, low-frequency power; n.u., normalized units; pNN50, percentage of differences between adjacent filtered RR intervals which was greater than 50 ms for the entire analysis; rMSSd, square root of the average of sum of squares of difference between adjacent filtered RR intervals; SDNN, SD of all normal-to-normal RR intervals in the entire recording.
