On the influence of heliogeophysical factors on the health of patients with cardiovascular diseases

Throughout life, the organism constantly has to adapt to continuously changing environmental conditions. Sensitivity of patients with cardiovascular diseases to heliogeophysical and adverse weather conditions ranges from 42 to 100% and is manifested by heliometeotropic reactions of varying severity. Studies have shown that sick people are affected by sudden intensification of solar activity, geomagnetic storms and changes of meteorological elements, and the organism may react to variations of external factors 1-2 days before the change of heliogeophysical conditions, on the day of direct exposure to the factors and 2-3 days after their change. The greatest biotropic effect of meteorological factors is manifested when the intensity of the Earth's magnetic field changes against the background of a sharp increase in solar activity. Under the influence of geomagnetic field strength fluctuations, a person suffering from a chronic disease may easily go into a state of stress. It determines the necessity to develop methods of forecasting unfavorable geomagnetic and meteorological situations, which can provoke aggravation of pathological processes.
