Notes: DBP, diastolic blood pressure; ET-1, endothelin-1; HF, high frequency; LF, low frequency; LF/HF, the ratio of LF to HF; pNN50, percentage of normal RR intervals with duration > 50 msec different from the previous normal RR interval; rMSSD, the root mean square of the successive differences; SBP, systolic blood pressure; SDANN, the standard deviation of the average NN intervals calculated over short periods; SDNN, the standard deviation of the normal-to-normal interval; VCAM-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1; VLF, very low frequency; vWF, von Willebrand factor. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01. This evidence concerns the gene VWF and hydrops fetalis.
