Abstract: Two measures of heart rate variability, pNN50 and pNN20, are compared. A non-linear transformation of these measures is proposed, that is helpful in understanding their interrelationship. Provided a valid statistical test is employed, results from analysing pNN20 are likely to be equivalent to those from analysing pNN50. Arguments recently made by Mietus et al (2002 Heart88 378-80) against the commonly used pNN50 are unconvincing.
