Geomagnetic storms (GS) affect human cardiovascular health, impacting blood flow and heart rate variability. Individual responses varied, with some volunteers showing distinct cardiovascular reactions to simulated storm conditions compared to quiet periods.

Area of Science:

  • Geophysics
  • Human Physiology
  • Cardiovascular Health

Background:

  • Geomagnetic storms (GS) are natural phenomena with potential impacts on Earth's systems.
  • Previous research suggests a link between geomagnetic activity and human health, particularly cardiovascular function.
  • Laboratory studies are crucial for isolating and understanding the effects of specific environmental factors like geomagnetic fields on human physiology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the influence of a simulated geomagnetic storm (GS) on the human cardiovascular system and microcirculation.
  • To assess changes in capillary blood velocity (CBV), blood pressure (BP), and heart rate variability (HRV) under controlled quiet and storm conditions.
  • To identify individual sensitivities and group responses to geomagnetic storm exposure.

  • Healthy volunteers were exposed to simulated quiet (Q) and storm (S) magnetic field (MF) conditions in a laboratory setting.
  • Cardiovascular parameters including capillary blood velocity (CBV), blood pressure (BP), and 24-hour ECG recordings were measured.
  • Analysis included calculating a storm-to-quiet ratio for cardio intervals (CI) and heart rate variability (HRV), and using autocorrelation function analysis for individual sensitivity assessment.

Main Results:

  • The study revealed measurable cardiovascular responses to the simulated geomagnetic storm.
  • Analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) and cardio intervals (CI) showed significant differences between quiet and storm conditions.
  • Autocorrelation analysis identified distinct individual sensitivities to the geomagnetic storm exposure, categorizing subjects based on their physiological responses.

Conclusions:

  • Geomagnetic storms can influence human cardiovascular parameters and microcirculation.
  • Individual physiological responses to geomagnetic storms vary, indicating differential sensitivity among individuals.
  • Further research is warranted to fully elucidate the mechanisms underlying the cardiovascular effects of geomagnetic storms.
