    Summary

    This study found an inverse correlation between solar activity and cardiac events like myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death. Lower solar activity was linked to higher cardiac event rates during 1969-1976.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Environmental Science
    • Geophysics

    Background:

    • Myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death are significant health concerns.
    • Environmental factors, including solar activity and geomagnetism, are increasingly investigated for their potential impact on cardiovascular health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the correlation between solar activity, geomagnetism, and the incidence of myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death.
    • To analyze cardiovascular event data in relation to solar and geomagnetic activity over a defined period.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized hospital data from Wrocław registered according to World Health Organization (WHO) standards for the period 1969-1976.
    • Defined sudden cardiac death as mortality within 24 hours of disease onset.
    • Correlated the incidence of cardiac events with solar activity and geomagnetic data.

    Main Results:

    • A statistically significant inverse correlation was observed between solar activity and the incidence of myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death.
    • The highest number of cardiac events occurred in 1975, coinciding with the lowest solar activity.
    • The lowest number of cardiac events occurred in 1969-1970, coinciding with the highest solar activity.
    • No statistically significant correlation was found between cardiac events and geomagnetism.

    Conclusions:

    • Solar activity appears to be inversely correlated with myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death incidence.
    • Geomagnetism did not show a significant correlation with the studied cardiovascular events.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the mechanisms linking solar activity to cardiovascular health.
