Blood troponin levels in acute cardiac events depends on space weather activity components (a correlative study)

Abstract

First, the monthly level of blood Tn I in ACS is significantly correlated with the indices of SA (inverse) and with CRA (neutron); second, no significant correlation with the GMA indices was found; and third, the Tn T levels showed significant links with the GMA indices and none with SA and CRA (neutron).

The Space and Terrestrial Weather Variations as Possible Factors for Ischemia Events in Saint Petersburg

“…We are glad that our investigation with the unprejudiced selection of the environmental parameters shows the significance of the geomagnetic field variations of ischemic people. This fact proves the correctness of other research works [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] and adds new features to the investigation of the geomagnetic effects on human life.…”

“…However, we must note that our time interval of observation (4 years) was not so much shorter than some mentioned in the introduction to this article authors have: 1 year in Reference [6], 2 years and 3 months in Reference [21], 4 months in Reference [24], 1 month in Reference [12] and 2 months in Reference [11]. There are longer time intervals under investigation, [14,25] but these researchers did not take into account the calendar seasons and solar activity phase relations of their studies.…”

“…Often researchers investigate only one environmental factor that can impact the human or any other living organism [6,17,19,21,22,25]. Some researchers take a few environmental parameters for the investigation [14,20,23,26], but these environmental parameters usually are predefined as obvious factors that can affect the human organism. Frequently, this ensemble of factors consists of the air temperature, air pressure plus in different works one of space weather parameters is added [20,24,26]usually, the geomagnetic disturbances are added to the investigation [26].…”

“…It is a fact that females reacted to large-scale geomagnetic variations, and males reacted to the local-scale geomagnetic variations. Often [6,[8][9][10][11][12]26], the geomagnetic characteristics are investigated only in a local geo-point of study or investigated only on planetary-scale geomagnetic indexes [14].…”

“…Additionally, there are interesting results of the psychological investigation [10,12] in the circumstances of the geomagnetic disturbances. Different works show the direction for the special investigation of the cosmic ray's impact on the living organism; that impact is mediated by the ionosphere disturbances and the atmosphere electricity disturbances [7,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. One should note the wide range of modern investigations-from the global impact of lunar phases [20] on the human organism to precise laboratory experiments of manmade physical fields (mostly electromagnetic field); those simulate natural physical fields and the impact of them on the different human organism points [18].…”
