  • Correlation of 1 min and 5 min electrocardiographic HRV measurements.

  • *Excellent correlation.

  • HF, high frequency components; HRV, heart rate variability; HRV-TI, HRV-triangular index; ICC, intraclass correlation; LF, low frequency components; NN50, number of intervals differing by >50 ms from preceding interval; pNN50, NN50 divided by total number of intervals; RMSSD, root mean square of successive differences in RR intervals; SDNN, SD of RR interval; VLF, very low-frequency components.
