[Effect of passive screening for protecting patients with ischemic heart disease from the effect of geomagnetic disturbances].

The idea of shielding patients against, negative influence of geomagnetic disturbances was declared by A.L. Tchijevsky.

[Experience in using a diagnostic magnetometer in emergency care].

A new class of diagnostic magnetometric devices--magnetic storm indicators was created at the IZMIRAN. Magnetic storm indicators have the following advantages: small weight and dimensions, efficiency, low power consumption and low prices. Magnetic storm indicators could be used in medicine, in geophysics and for special purposes.

[The effect of geomagnetic disturbances in capillary blood flow in ischemic heart disease patients].

A total of 80 patients with ischemic heart diseases (men-47, women-33) were followed up daily during 2-3 weeks. We studied capillary flow in the cuticle above the nail (eponichium) with TV-capillaroscope, allowed to conduct prolonged studies. We evaluated capillary indices for perivascular edema, erythrocytes aggregation, blood velocity.
