IS: immediate stenting; DS: delayed stenting; VLF: very low frequency; LF: low frequency; HF: high frequency; NN interval: normal to normal interval; SDNN: standard deviation of all NN intervals; SDANN: standard deviation of the averages of NN intervals; ASDNN: average standard deviation of the mean of every 5 min NN interval; RMSSD: square root of the mean of the sum of the squared differences between adjacent NN; NN50: number of pairs of adjacent NN intervals differing by >50 ms; pNN50: NN50 divided by the total number of all NN intervals.
