Abstract: | The effect of extremely weak alternating magnetic fields of various types with the amplitudes δ of 2 μT on the heart rate variability in humans was studied. Volunteers were placed in a large-volume coil system (2ω2ω2 m), which provided exposure of the whole body to extremely weak alternating magnetic fields uniform in their amplitude. It was shown for the first time that the exposure to such fields could both increase and decrease the magnitude of stress in humans. In particular, the field tuned to the nuclear spins of hydrogen atoms (amplitude, 1.6 μT and frequency, 76 Hz) decreased the Baevsky stress index, whereas the field tuned to the magnetic moments formed by the orbiting electrons in some atoms (amplitude, 0.192 μT and frequency, 3000 Hz) increased this index. These results provide a possible explanation for the mechanisms of adverse effects caused by extremely weak alternating magnetic fields of certain types of both technogenic and natural origins on the human cardiovascular system. |
