SEN: sensitivity; SPE: specificity; RMSSD: square root of the mean of the squares of successive differences between normal RR intervals in a time interval (ms); SDNN: standard deviation of normal RR intervals in a time interval (ms); LF: low-frequency component; HF: high-frequency component; RRTri: triangular index; SD1: standard deviation of the instantaneous RR intervals; SD2: long-term variability of continuous RR intervals.
