Figure 2 Receiver operating characteristic curves for the short-term fractal exponent, long-term scaling exponent and for SDNN in predicting cardiac death and sudden cardiac death. Short-term fractal exponent had higher sensitivity than SDNN or long-term scaling exponent in all specificity levels. AUC = area under the curve; SDNN = standard deviation of all N-N intervals.
