Abstract: Statistical properties of interbeat intervals cascade are evaluated by considering the joint probability distribution $P(Delta{x}_2,a{u}_2;Delta{x}_1,a{u}_1)$ for two interbeat increments $Delta{x}_1$ and $Delta{x}_2$ of different time scales $a{u}_1$ and $a{u}_2$. We present evidence that the conditional probability distribution $P(Delta{x}_2,a{u}_2|Delta{x}_1,a{u}_1)$ may obey a Chapman-Kolmogorov equation. The corresponding Kramers-Moyal (KM) coefficients are evaluated. It is shown that while the first and second KM coefficients, i.e., the drift and diffusion coefficients, take on well-defined and significant values, the higher-order coefficients in the KM expansion are very small. As a result, the joint probability distributions of the increments in the interbeat intervals obey a Fokker-Planck equation. The method provides a novel technique for distinguishing the two classes of subjects in terms of the drift and diffusion coefficients, which behave differently for two classes of the subjects, namely, healthy subjects and those with congestive heart failure.
