This document contains supplementary tables 1–4. Supplementary Table 1 details characteristics of the subjects included in the present analysis. Supplementary Table 2 shows replication of analyses shown in Table 1 (Main Text) in the subset of subjects who had pNN50 ≤ 10 (for both CHF and NSR datasets) and mean heart rate <100 beats/min (for the NSR dataset). Supplementary Table 3 shows replication of analyses shown in Table 2 (Main Text) in the subset of subjects who had pNN50 ≥ 10 (for both CHF and NSR datasets) and mean heart rate <100 beats/min (for the NSR dataset). Supplementary Table 4 shows the distribution of traditional measures of HRV across the study groups.
