MSE HRV, Multiscale Entropy on HRV series; MSE IBR, Multiscale Entropy on IBR series; MSE IBI, Multiscale Entropy on IBI series; MMSE HRV-IBR, Multivariate Multiscale Entropy on bivariate HRV and IBR series; MMSE HRV-IBI, Multivariate Multiscale Entropy on bivariate HRV and IBI series; CI, Complexity Index. ApEn, Approximate Entropy, SampEn; Sample Entropy, 0V, number of patterns with none variation in the amplitude; 0V%, 1V%, 2V%, percentage of the total patterns with zero, one or two variations in the amplitude; SD1, Standard Deviation of PoincarÃl' Plot related to the points that are perpendicular to the line-of-identity; DFA1, Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (first slope); RP Lmax, Recurrence Plot (longest diagonal line); CD, Correlation Dimension ↑ indicates that an increase of the test score is associated to an increase of the feature value. ↓ indicates that an increase of the test score is associated to a decrease of the feature value.
