Comparative Analysis of the Response of Microcirculation Parameters and Blood Pressure to Geomagnetic Activity in Healthy People

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

We analyze the results of daily laser Doppler flowmetry monitoring of blood microcirculation parameters in 9 healthy volunteers performed in 2006-2009. Dependence of microcirculation and BP parameters on geomagnetic activity was analyzed separately in each volunteer (the influence of ambient temperature was previously excluded). Significantly increased parameters of microcirculation in response to higher geomagnetic activity were found in 4 volunteers (44%) and elevated BP in 1 volunteer; in other cases, no reaction was detected. It was shown that individual sensitivity to geomagnetic activity is proportional to its mean level during the period of measurement. Since blood perfusion volume in tissues directly depends on peripheral vascular resistance, we can conclude that under conditions of high geomagnetic activity microvascular tone varies to a greater extent than the tone of major vessels.
