  • All data are expressed as mean (SD) (range).

  • 2-150 p<0.01 v 1 month, p<0.05 v 1 month,p<0.05 v 6 months.

  • SDRR, mean of standard deviation of five minute successive normal RR intervals in two hours of data; TP, total spectral power components of heart rate variability in two hours of data; LF, low frequency components of heart rate variability in two hoursof data; HF, high frequency components of heart rate variability in two hours of data.
