Autonomic characteristics of periodic limb movements: comparison of whole-night and stage N2 linear and non-linear heart rate variability
PLMS are characterized by increased autonomic variability (SDNN, SD2, DFA α1) but reduced complexity (ApEn, SampEn), particularly during stage N2. Stage-specific HRV assessment may provide novel insights into the cardiovascular implications of PLMS.
