SDNN, standard deviation of the number of pairs of successive NN (Normal to Normal RR intervals); RMSSD, root mean square of the successive differences; PNN5, the proportion of the number of pairs of successive NN (R-R) intervals that differ by >5 ms divided by the total number of NN (R-R) intervals. In frequency parameters, the measures shown are the normalized power (NORM) for each band (very low frequency, VLFreq; low frequency, LFreq; and high frequency, HFreq) and the ratio of LFreq to Hfreq. Two-way repeated ANOVA followed by Bonferroni test were used. All values are mean ± SD.

a

P < 0.05 versus sham group.

b

P < 0.05 versus the same group under basal conditions.
