“…Legends are included in the text above (TaskForce, 1996) pNN5: percentage of successive NN intervals greater than 5 ms (TaskForce, 1996) HF (high frequency band power) (David et al, 2007) P0V, P1V, P2V: percentage of no, one, or two respective changes in a binary series of successive NN intervals (Cysarz et al, 2015;Cysarz et al, 2013) DCsl1, DCst1, ACsl1, ACst1: Slope and step values of heart rate Deceleration and Acceleration Capacity across 1 NN interval change (short) after PRSA (Phase Rectified Signal Averaging) (Bauer et al, 2006;Lobmaier et al, 2012) long (lAMP) SD: SDNN -standard deviation of NN intervals (TaskForce, 1996) TP: total power, VLF: very low frequency p., LF: low frequency p. (David et al, 2007) Amp: 20-95 inter-quantile range of NN intervals STV: mean difference between consecutive NN interval epochs of 3.75s, w/o DC, artifacts <50%, the parameter is referred to as STV -'short term variation' in the literature owing to the temporal resolution constrains of cardiotocography (Pardey et al, 2002) LTV: "long-term variation", mean fluctuation range of NN epochs in 1 min sections w/o DC, artifacts < 50%, part of the dataset referred to as the Dawes-Redman-criteria (Pardey et al, 2002) DCsl4, DCst4, ACsl4, ACst4, slope and step values across the change at a coarse graining level of 4 NN intervals (long) see above COMP: Complexity: indices of irregularity, invers to predictability. Complexity is a characteristic that is per definition independent of the amplitude of a signal.…”
