THE EVALUATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DISTURBANCES OF THE GEOMAGNETIC BACKGROUND AND THE RESPONSE FROM THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM USING STANDARD STATISTICAL SOLUTIONS

The purpose of this work is to present the mechanism of statistical data processing necessary to assess the sensitivity of the human cardiovascular system to geomagnetic disturbances. However, the approach proposed by us can be used not only to identify the relationship between the daily level of geomagnetic disturbance and the performance of the cardiovascular system, but also to solve other similar problems. Materials and methods, namely, standard statistical techniques, such as χ2, and Fisher’s exact test, allowed us to find the solution necessary to establish the relationship between the level of disturbance of the geomagnetic background (Kp-index) and indicators of the functional activity of the cardiovascular system (T-wave symmetry coefficient), when registering an ECG signal in the phase space of coordinates. This paper considers a case in which the data obtained from the study of the values o f the symmetry coefficient of the T wave of an anonymous patient appear, as well as a series of data reflecting fluctuations in the daily index of geomagnetic disturbance recorded daily for 24 days of the study. The result of the work carried out is a working and sufficiently original data processing algorithm that makes it possible to distinguish between people who are sensitive to geomagnetic background disturbances and those who are insensitive to this factor. In the case described as an example in this paper, a significant relationship was found between the presence of geomagnetic disturbance and deviations of the indicators of the activity of the cardiovascular system from normal values, of a functional nature, as evidenced by the significance level p<0.05 obtained for the χ2 criterion, and the exact criterion Fisher, whose value was 0.04977.
