Abstract

This article describes the principles of multi-latitude monitoring ‘Heliomed-2’ conducted for obtaining new data on the impact of space weather on human health. The article presents the results of synchronous monitoring of the cardiovascular system reaction assessment and psycho-emotional state of healthy volunteers to the changes in the geomagnetic disturbance in high (Tixie settlement and the city of Yakutsk) and middle (city of Saratov) latitudes. All the examined groups exhibited the effect of synchronization of ventricular myocardial repolarization processes (according to the data on the symmetry coefficient of the T wave of the electrocardiogram) and geomagnetic disturbance (according to the Kpindex); the synchronization of reactive anxiety and geomagnetic disturbance was also revealed. It has been established that the group cardiac sensitivity and psychological sensitivity to geomagnetic disturbances coincide in the same group of volunteers, regardless of breadth of residence.
