The influence of geomagnetic storms on the development of hypertensive crises (at the example of Yakutsk residents)

Abstract

The data of appeal to the ambulance station with hypertensive crises of residents of Yakutsk with a geomagnetic field at the maximum (2013) and a minimum (2017) of the XXIV solar cycle was compared. It is shown that in the years of high solar activity, the effects of geomagnetic storms are manifested in the increase in the number of calls for emergency medical care with a preliminary diagnosis of the hypertensive crisis. At the same time, the majority are elderly and senile people, who, are believed, to have a cardiovascular system more susceptible to the influence of geophysical perturbations. An increase in the number of patients with hypertensive crisis is observed not only on the day of the maximum decrease of the Dst-index (the 0th day of the storm), but also in the interval from the -2th to the 2nd day of the storm. Differences in the reaction time are revealed depending on the type of geomagnetic storm: during sporadic storms, the maximum of calls is most often on the – 1st day, and for recurrent ones – on the 0th day.
