Table 2 Electrocardiogram and blood pressure parameters.

From: Association of cardiac and vascular changes with ambient PM2.5 in diabetic individuals

Heart rate variability (HRV) (24 h): time domain

RMSSD

Root mean square of successive differences

SDNN

Standard deviation of NN (normal-to-normal)

pNN50

Percentage of adjacent NN-intervals which differ more than 50 ms

Heart rate variability (HRV) (5 min at rest): frequency domain

HR

Heart rate

TP

Total power (approximately = 0.40 Hz)

LFa

Low frequency band (0.04-0.15 Hz)

HFa

High frequency band (0.15-0.40 Hz)

LF/HF

Low-to-high frequency power ratio

Repolarization events (5 min at rest)

QTc

Bazett-corrected QT interval (correction: QT/sqrt(NN))

QT norm

Normalized QT variance

QTVI

QT variability index

T wave amplitude

Amplitude of T wave

T wave complexity

Principal component analysis of T wave

Variability of T wave complexity

Standard deviation of T wave complexity

Blood pressure

BPsys

Systolic blood pressure

BPdia

Diastolic blood pressure

  1. aRepresented as absolute values of power (unit: ms2) and as the relative value of each power component in proportion to total power minus the very low frequency component (unit: normalized units)
