INFLUENCE OF HELIOGEOPHYSICAL FACTORS ON HUMAN HEALTH

Abstract

The purpose of this work is the development of the connection between a level of geomagnetic activity and a quantity of emergency calls for cardiovascular diseases. To perform the study we analyzed data on the quantity of emergency calls in Irkutsk during 8years period (2001-2004, 2007-2010). In total we analyzed 1460 days, 8942 cases of acute myocardial infarction and 1953 cases of intra-cerebral hemorrhage. There is a significant positive correlation between the number of ambulance calls for acute vascular pathology (myocardial infarction, intracerebral hemorrhage) and the Kp index over all years of study.
