Table 2.
Frequency-domain variables of heart rate variability [38].
| Variable | Description | Frequency Range |
|---|---|---|
| LF | Power in low-frequency range | 0.04–0.15 Hz |
| HF | Power in high-frequency range | 0.15–0.4 Hz |
| LF/HF ratio | Sympathovagal balance | |
| LFnu | LF power in normalized units: (LF/(total power − VLF)) × 100 | |
| HFnu | HF power in normalized units: (HF/(total power − VLF)) × 100 | |
| Total Power | The variance of NN intervals over the temporal segment | Approximately ≤ 0.4 Hz |
| VLF | Power in very low-frequency range | ≤0.04 Hz |
