title: [Mechanism of biotropic effects of regional electromagnetic fields in patients with left ventricular ischemic dysfunction].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the role of disturbed autonomic regulation of the cardiovascular system in formation of the phenomenon of geliogeomagnetic sensitivity of patients with left ventricular ischemic dysfunction.
  
  
  METHODS
  24-h synchronous monitoring of ECG and electromagnetic situation was made in 11 patients (mean age 49.4 +/- 0.9 years) who had survived macrofocal myocardial infarction (MI) at least 6 months before and in 15 healthy volunteers.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Heart rhythm dispersion, correlation between variations of magnetic field vector component amplitudes and standard deviation of ECG R-R intervals duration in MI survivors were significantly less than in healthy subjects. High conjugacy of heart rhythm dispersion and mean value of R-R intervals (functions synchronization index) was characteristic only for the control group. A 3-week therapy with atenolol provided normalization of the disturbed correlations in 4 patients.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Pathogenic geliogeotropic reactions in MI survivors develop because of intra- and inter-systemic desynchronisation of the functions mechanism of which is mediated by sympathicoadrenal activation and is correctable by beta 1-adrenoblocker atenolol.
