Results are presented as median and interquartile ranges (25°–75°). HR: heart rate; LF: low frequency in normalized units; HF: high frequency in normalized units; LF/HF: ratio between LF and HF; 0V%: pattern with no variation; 1V%: pattern with one variation; 2LV: pattern with two like variations; 2UV%: pattern with two unlike variations.
