In this study, we characterize this phenomenon and its effect on heart rate variability (HRV) parameters. <jats:italic>Approach:<\/jats:italic> We calculated linear (the mean and standard deviation of RR intervals, RMSSD, pNN50 and the power of the frequency components) and nonlinear (V0, V1 and V2 Porta\u2019s symbolic analysis, Shannon and Sample entropy, Guzik\u2019s and Porta\u2019s asymmetry indexes, the exponents \u03b1<jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub> and \u03b1<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> of detrended fluctuation analysis and the Hurst surface h(q,s) of multiscale multifractal analysis (MMA)) HRV parameters for 65 RR interval night-time series (39 females, 37.5(11.3) years old and 26 males, 41.7(16.5) years old; all without organic heart diseases). All parameters were calculated for original data and for the three kinds of test data in which the following parts of the time series were replaced by 1\/f noise: (A) the U-shape patterns annotated in a given data set, (B) randomly chosen windows of similar size as the U-shaped patterns, (C) acceleration-deceleration events shorter than U-shaped patterns. <jats:italic>Main results:<\/jats:italic> We found that the U-shaped patterns, as the most persistent structures in RR night-time intervals series, affect the long-range correlation properties (measured by \u03b1<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>). We also found that the U-shaped patterns importantly strictly affect the shape of h(q,s) surface at different scales s. Removing the U-shaped patterns results in the shape of the h(q,s) surface losing the properties characteristic for healthy heart rhythm. The largest quantitative effect of U-shaped patterns was obtained for the power of the VLF component. The mean percentage difference of the VLF component between the original data and the A to C type test data were 19.4%, \u22124.3% and 5.3%, respectively. <jats:italic>Significance:<\/jats:italic> Although percentage contribution of U-shaped patterns is small compared to the whole night-time series (on the average 3.1%(1.7%) with a standard deviation of 1.7%), these patterns have a considerable impact on the HRV parameters describing the VLF, persistency, nonlinear correlations and multifractal properties.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/1361-6579\/ab9376","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,15]],"date-time":"2020-05-15T22:23:42Z","timestamp":1589581422000},"page":"065001","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["The effect of persistent U-shaped patterns in RR night-time series on the heart rate variability complexity in healthy humans"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"41","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6461-1738","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mateusz","family":"Soli\u0144ski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pawe\u0142","family":"Kuklik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jan","family":"Giera\u0142towski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rafa\u0142","family":"Baranowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Beata","family":"Graff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jan","family":"\u017bebrowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"pmeaab9376bib1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"607","DOI":"10.1007\/s12975-018-0684-1","article-title":"Very low frequency heart rate variability predicts the development of post-stroke infections","volume":"10","author":"Br\u00e4mer","year":"2019","journal-title":"Transl.
