“…Similar to investigations that analyzed changes in autonomic nervous system activity using frequency‐domain analysis, other studies have used time‐domain analysis of HRV. As in frequency‐domain studies, baseline values not only in sham groups were used (Abulaiti et al, 2011; De La Fuente et al, 2013; Houshmand et al, 2017; Krüger et al, 1997, 2000; Lima et al, 2018; Müller‐Ribeiro et al, 2017; Sallam et al, 2016, 2017; Silva, Geraldini, et al, 2017; Silva, Silva, et al, 2017; Soler et al, 2018; Wang et al, 2016; Xu et al, 2020), but also from groups in which the values were recorded only before the experimental intervention itself and the animals did not undergo surgical preparation (control) (Barbier et al, 2006; Beckers et al, 2006; Beltrán et al, 2020; Couderc et al, 2002; Farraj et al, 2009; Fazan Jr. et al, 2015; Hashimoto et al, 1999; Hazari et al, 2021; Koresh et al, 2016; Lamb et al, 2012; Lin et al, 2016; Maida et al, 2017; Mangin et al, 1998; Mostarda et al, 2009; Pereira‐Junior et al, 2010; Powell et al, 2021; Ramaekers et al, 2002; Ribeiro et al, 2021; Saalfield & Spear, 2014; Scridon et al, 2012; Shi et al, 2017; Simoes et al, 2016; Zajączkowski et al, 2018).…”
