“…Lithuanian researchers in another study have found correlation between heart rate variability and geomagnetic field strength, their study has shown that autonomic nervous system responds to solar and geomagnetic activity [ 21 , 22 , 23 ]. Moreover, in another study which included patients from Lithuania, researchers found out that number of acute myocardial infarction events after low geomagnetic field activity and high cosmic rays days increased by a fifth, their obtained results indicate that geomagnetic field may be related to development of myocardial infarction [ 24 , 25 ]. Our study results indicate that the effects of changes in local geomagnetic field should be studied analyzing field’s strength in frequency ranges.…”

The impact of changes in the geomagnetic field on the human body remains the subject of studies across the world, yet there is no consensus. Current studies are observing effects that require further work by researchers in order to find out the mechanisms that would allow a proper assessment of the correlations between the Earth‘s magnetic field variations and changes in human organisms. The main purpose of this study was to investigate possible correlations between the strength of time-varying aspects of the local Earth’s magnetic field and incidence of myocardial infarctions. Study participants included 435 males and 268 females who had diagnosis of myocardial infarction during the period of 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016 and attended the Department of Cardiology at the Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LUHS), Kauno klinikos. Time varying magnetic field data was collected at the magnetometer site located in Lithuania. After mathematical analysis, the results support the hypothesis that the Earth’s magnetic field has a relationship between the number of acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation (STEMI) cases per week and the average weekly geomagnetic field strength in different frequency ranges. Correlations varied in different age groups as well as in males and females, which may indicate diverse organism sensitivity to the Earth’s magnetic field.

“…There is a growing body of evidence that GMD affects the human health. The associations between GMD and increased risk of myocardial infarction, suicide, and stroke have been reported, previously [ 3 – 7 ]. In spite of primary suggestions by some researchers in the past decades [ 8 , 9 ], we found that this issue as a possible environmental risk factor for MS has been neglected, and no comprehensive hypothesis has been designed to explain the potential relationship between GMD and MS.…”

Background Insufficient received ultraviolet B radiation (UV) is regarded as the main environmental risk factor (RF) for MS in vitamin D deficiency hypothesis. Nevertheless, geomagnetic disturbance (GMD) has also been proposed as a potential trigger for MS in GMD hypothesis. The aim of this study was to investigate which of these mentioned RF is correlated with long-term ultradecadal MS incidence. Methods After a systematic search, long-term incidence reports of the United Kingdom (UK), Denmark, Tayside County, Nordland County, the Orkney, and Shetland Islands were selected for this retrospective time-series study. Possible lead-lag relationships between MS incidence, GMD, and UV were evaluated by cross-correlation analysis. Results Significant positive correlations between GMD and MS incidence were seen in Tayside County (at lag of 2 years: rS = 0.38), Denmark (peak correlation at lag of 2 years: rS = 0.53), and UK (at lag of 1 year: rS = 0.50). We found a positive correlation between received UV and MS incidences in the Nordland at lag of 1 year (rS = 0.49). Conclusion This study found significant positive correlations between alterations in GMD with alterations in long-term MS incidence in three out of six studied locations and supports the GMD hypothesis. The observed significant correlation between MS and UV is positive; hence it is not supportive for UV related vitamin D deficiency hypothesis.

“…Some studies have shown that ANS (automatic nervous system) responds to solar and geomagnetic activity [34][35][36]. Stoupel and Collegues [37,38] also found out that number of acute MI events after low GMF activity and high CRs days of increased their obtained results indicate that GMF can be related to development of MI. These investigations indicate that the effects of variations in GMF should be studied by analyzing the strength of fields in frequency ranges.…”

This review paper explores the impact of fluctuations in environmental factors on human chrono-periodic systems. A multitude of external and internal environmental factors influence the organism throughout its lifespan, and many have the potential to disrupt human homeostasis. It would be inaccurate to assume that specific responses to each stimulus were developed and solidified during the evolutionary process. With the exception of genetic defects, there could not have been evolutionarily fixed pathological reactions in the body, as this would contradict the laws of selection. Therefore, all typical responses of the body to the stimulus should be considered primarily adaptive, i.e., physiological.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (n-11026) on days of zero geomagnetic activity (GMA) and the following week: differences at months of maximal and minimal solar activity (SA) in solar cycles 23 and 24

Abstract: Zero-GMA/high-neutron activity is followed by increase in AMI admissions at the days that follow. The effects are different at high and low parts of the 11-year solar cycle.
