The “ΔΔ” symbol indicates that a change in the response is represented. For example, an abnormal stand response in a single test is a decrease in sympathetic activity as compared to the resting seated position. This response may then change and become normalized as an increase in sympathetic activity upon standing. As a result, the change in the response (ΔΔ) would be positive. Changes marked with an asterisk are significant (*P < 0.01 or **P < 0.001). See text for details.
