  1. Abbreviations: SDNN the standard deviation of normal to normal intervals, RMSSD the root mean square of successive heartbeat interval differences, pNN50 the proportion of NN pairs differing by more than 50 ms divided by total number of NNs, AMo the mode amplitude (the most frequent value of NN interval or the highest column in the histogramm) – the number of NN intervals included into the pocket corresponding to the mode measured in percentages (%) (AMo), SI the stress index SI = AMo (%)/(2 × Mo × Var); Var = NNmax – NNmin, TP the total power, VLF the very low frequency, LF the low frequency, HF the high frequency
