- Abstract
A comparison of electronic database of patients’ visits complaints to ambulance (ECM) in Yakutsk was made to assess the impact of space weather on the well-being and condition of people with cardiovascular pathology. It has been shown that during the years of high solar activity there are significant coincidences between changing geomagnetic perturbation (Kp-index) and the number of patients’ visits to policlinics with high BP. The number of calls for emergency medical care due to high blood pressure was observed in 57 % of cases, in people with primary essential arterial hypertension (AH), 7% of them had a hypertensive crisis (HC) with systolic blood pressure 180 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure 120 mmHg. In connection with the significant coincidence of medical data and Kp-index, a conclusion was made about the possible influence of heliogeophysical perturbation on the cardiovascular system of a person living at high latitudes.
