Heart rate variability parameters in controls and in women with PCOS at age 46 in seated position. The users of beta-blockers were excluded. Values are mean±SD or median with 25% and 75% quartiles, and the significance testing was made by Student’s t test (ln-transform was made to achieve normality). HR, heart rate; rMSSD, the root mean square of successive R–R differences; LFRRi, low-frequency (0.04–0.15 Hz) power; HFRRi, high-frequency (0.15–0.4 Hz) power; α1, short-term fractal-like scaling exponent by detrended fluctuation analysis; SBP, systolic blood pressure; BRS, baroreflex sensitivity; PCOS, polycystic ovary syndrome.
