Notes: , the differences were statistically significant compared to Group I (); , the differences were statistically significant compared to Group II ().
SDNN: standard deviation of normal to normal intervals; RMSSD: root mean square of successive heartbeat interval differences; pNN50: the proportion of the number of pairs of NNs that differ by more than 50 ms divided by total number of NNs; AMo: the amplitude of mode (the most frequent value of NN interval or the highest column in the histogram) − number of NN intervals included in the pocket corresponding to mode measured in percentage (%); SI: stress index (SI) = AMo (%)/(2 Mo Var); Var = ; TP: total power; VLF: very low frequency; LF: low frequency; and HF: high frequency.
