  1. Mean NN, mean NN interval; pNN50, percentage of adjacent pairs of R-R intervals that differ by more than 50 ms from each other in a given time period; ms, milliseconds; RMSSD, square root of the mean of the squares of differences between adjacent NN intervals; SDANN, mean standard deviation of the average NN intervals calculated over 5 minutes; SDNN, standard deviation of the NN intervals; SDSD, standard deviation of the successive NN differences.
