Table 1.

Parameters for time-domain and frequency-domain analyses of heart rate variability (HRV) signals.

Method Parameter Unit Description
Time-domain Analysis Mean HR 1/min Mean heart rate
Mean RR Ms Mean RR interval
SDNN Ms Standard deviation of RR interval
RMSSD Ms Square root of mean squared differences between successive RR intervals
Frequency-domain Analysis pNN50 % NNN50 divided by total number of RR intervals
VLF ms2 Absolute power of VLF band
LF ms2 Absolute power of LF band
HF ms2 Absolute power of HF band
LF norm n.u. LF power in normalized units LF/(Total Power-VLF) × 100
HF norm n.u. HF power in normalized units HF/(Total Power-VLF) × 100
LF/HF - Ratio of LF band power to HF band power
