Synchronization of human heart-rate indicators and geomagnetic field variations in the frequency range of 0.5–3.0 mHz

Fifty-seven experiments have been conducted to monitor the minute indicators of heart rate at rest in 38 practically healthy individuals (9 men and 29 women) from 18 to 58 years old. The duration of each observation period is 60 to 200 min. We have measured the heart rate and the minute-averaged car...

Description
Summary:Fifty-seven experiments have been conducted to monitor the minute indicators of heart rate at rest in 38 practically healthy individuals (9 men and 29 women) from 18 to 58 years old. The duration of each observation period is 60 to 200 min. We have measured the heart rate and the minute-averaged cardiac section durations reflecting the passage of electrical excitation over different parts of myocardium. A comparison of the dynamics of minute values of these physiological parameters with variations of the X and Z components of the geomagnetic field has shown that two-thirds of experiments revealed the synchronization of oscillations in the heart rate and variations in the components of the geomagnetic field. We have revealed both the matching of the observed periods of oscillations ranging between 4 and 30 min and an approximate synchronicity in the times of their appearance and disappearance.
