Ln= natural logarithm; N-N= normal-to-normal RR intervals; 24-hr HR= 60,000/average N-N for 24-hrs in bpm; daytime HR= average HR between 08:00 and 20:00; nighttime HR= average HR between 00:00 and 06:00; min HR= 60,000/minimum instantaneous N-N; max HR= 60,000/maximum instantaneous N-N; SDNN= 24-hr standard deviation of N-N intervals in ms; SDANN=24-hr SD of 5-min-averaged N-N intervals; SDNNIDX= 24-hr average of SD of 5-min N-N intervals; rMSSD= root mean square successive difference of N-N intervals in ms; pNN50= percent of successive N-N intervals differences > 50 ms in %; total power= total spectral power of HRV; very-low-frequency power = 24-hr average of power between 0.003-0.04 Hz; low-frequency power (24-hr average of 5-min power between 0.04-0.15 Hz); high-frequency power (24-hr average of 5-min power between 0.15-0.4 Hz); normalized low-frequency power (24-hr average of the proportion of total power in each 5-min interval accounted for by the low-frequency component); normalized high-frequency power (24-hr average of the proportion of total power in each 5-min interval accounted for by the high-frequency component). Values are expressed as mean ± SD or median [IRQ].
