“…Mendoza and Sandoval [50] found that myocardial infarction rates on days of Forbush decrease and severe storms were higher for individuals aged ≥65 years. Variations in human physiological parameters as well as blood pressure, heart rate, and heart rate variability were observed after increased GMA [51][52][53]. This can explain the increase in the daily number of EACs after the period of active-stormy GMA.…”

Abstract:Circadian rhythm influences the physiology of the cardiovascular system, inducing diurnal variation of blood pressure. We investigated the association between daily emergency ambulance calls (EACs) for elevated arterial blood pressure during the time intervals of 8:00-13:59, 14:00-21:59, and 22:00-7:59 and weekly fluctuations of air temperature (T), barometric pressure, relative humidity, wind speed, geomagnetic activity (GMA), and high-speed solar wind (HSSW). We used the Poisson regression to explore the association between the risk of EACs and weather variables, adjusting for seasonality and exposure to CO, PM 10 , and ozone. An increase of 10 • C when T > 1 • C on the day of the call was associated with a decrease in the risk of EACs during the time periods of 14:00-21:59 (RR (rate ratio) = 0.78; p < 0.001) and 22:00-7:59 (RR = 0.88; p = 0.35). During the time period of 8:00-13:59, the risk of EACs was positively associated with T above 1 • C with a lag of 5-7 days (RR = 1.18; p = 0.03). An elevated risk was associated during 8:00-13:59 with active-stormy GMA (RR = 1.22; p = 0.003); during 14:00-21:59 with very low GMA (RR = 1.07; p = 0.008) and HSSW (RR = 1.17; p = 0.014); and during 22:00-7:59 with HSSW occurring after active-stormy days (RR = 1.32; p = 0.019). The associations of environmental variables with the exacerbation of essential hypertension may be analyzed depending on the time of the event.

“…In this research, we evaluated the correlations between the local GMF activity during a workweek in middle aged women, but the results showed that a person's physiological characteristics are constantly changing especially as fatigue increases. There is a lot of scientific researches about heart rate and GMF [18,19], but investigations about the impact of GMF power in different frequency bands on human health or changes of separate ECG parameters are missing.…”

“…6). In the evening a tendency of negative correlations was observed in SDelta [0-3.5] Hz band ( (21) = -0.330; = 0.143) and in SAlpha [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Hz band ( (21) = -0.338; = 0.134) but significant negative correlations were observed in GMF in SBeta [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]] Hz band and QRS duration ( (21) = -0.441; = 0.045). In summary it can be stated that changes in the QRS duration and GMF are associated with adaptations in the heart's regulatory mechanisms.…”

The aim of this research was to identify the interactions between Earth's local time varying magnetic field and cardiovascular system parameters in women, performing sedentary work, during their workweek. The tasks of research: 1. To examine the relationship between the Earth's local magnetic field and the electrocardiographic parameters of women performing sedentary work, during the workweek. 2. To examine the relationship between the Earth's local magnetic field and arterial blood pressure of women performing sedentary work, during the work week. The methods used: electrocardiographic monitoring and arterial blood pressure measurement. The Earth's magnetic field data was obtained using a magnetometer located in the town of Baisogala. Every female was assessed four times: before and after work on Monday, before and after work on Friday of the same week. Participants of the research: the research group consisted of 21 females who perform sedentary work (average age ± SD-50.1±9.5 years). Conclusions of the research: 1. The most significant correlations between local GMF and ECG and arterial blood pressure parameters were found with the low frequency field, the most often in SDelta [0-3.5] Hz and STheta [3.5-7] Hz bands. 2. The correlations between ECG parameters (RR, JT and QRS intervals ant ST amplitude) during the workweek changed from negative to positive, which appears to be associated with fatigue influence on person sensitivity to local GMF. 3. Systolic and diastolic arterial blood pressure changed in different ways. The correlations between local GMF and diastolic arterial blood pressure were especially pronounced. 4. All ECG and arterial blood pressure parameters showed great variability in correlation with local GMF. It can be associated with changing human sensitivity to GMF due to increasing fatigue.
