Increased geomagnetic activity and heliogeophysical disturbances may contribute to a higher risk of cardiovascular complications in oncology patients.
Do heliogeophysical factors increase the risk of toxic cardiomyopathy and hypertensive crises in cancer patients?
Increased geomagnetic activity may contribute to a higher risk of cardiovascular complications in cancer patients, suggesting environmental factors should be considered in cardiovascular risk assessment.
This article investigates the influence of heliogeophysical factors on the development of toxic cardiomyopathy and hypertensive crises in cancer patients. The study analyzes cardiovascular complications associated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, their pathogenic mechanisms, and the effects of solar activity and geomagnetic storms on the human body. Particular attention is given to the impact of heliogeophysical disturbances on cardiac function, blood pressure regulation, and hemodynamic parameters. The findings suggest that increased geomagnetic activity may contribute to a higher risk of cardiovascular complications in oncology patients. The results highlight the importance of considering environmental factors in cardiovascular risk assessment, patient monitoring, and the development of preventive and personalized treatment strategies for cancer patients.
Yusupov et al. (Fri,) conducted a review in Cancer. Heliogeophysical factors (solar activity and geomagnetic storms) was evaluated on Cardiovascular complications (toxic cardiomyopathy and hypertensive crises). Increased geomagnetic activity and heliogeophysical disturbances may contribute to a higher risk of cardiovascular complications in oncology patients.
