Pulse interval variability and SBP variability for patients with right and left hemispheric stroke
| Pulse interval variability (ms) | SBP variability (mm Hg) | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hemisphere affected by stroke | n | All Frequencies | VLF | LF | HF | All Frequencies | VLF | LF | HF |
| Data are presented as median and interquartile range; two patients had too many ectopic beats on their ECG to be included in spectral analysis. | |||||||||
