HR: Heart rate; SD: Standard deviation; SDNN: Standard deviation of NN intervals; RMSSD: Root mean square of successive differences; NN50: Number of pairs of successive NNs that differ by more than 50 ms; pNN50: Proportion of NN50 divided by the total number of NNs; TP: Total power; LF: Low frequency; HF: High frequency; nu: Normalized units.
