Introduction. Studies conducted by different investigator groups suggest that changes in the local Earth magnetic field (geomagnetic field) can affect various human organ systems and affect their function, affect human cardiovascular homeostasis, and the exposure patterns can vary. There are researches that geomagnetic field has an influence on the regulatory mechanism of human and can act the periodicity of myocardial infarction (1-6). Research aim. Researcher’s aim was to estimate the coherence between the changes of local geomagnetic field and cases of MI in Lithuania. We seek to clarify the characteristics of geomagnetic field which influence on MI sickness rate, besides to evaluate the influence in different subgroups. Research methods and organization. Our team retrospectively analyzed the cases of myocardial infarction (MI) in Lithuania. There was a total of 1234 participants in the study with a diagnosis of new myocardial infarction event during the period of 2016 year, who attended the Cardiology Department of University Hospital at Lithuanian University of Health Sciences and Siauliai Republican Hospital. The number of MI was grouped by weeks and months and that data was analyzed according due to local geomagnetic field and Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated with IBM SPSS 22.0 statistics program. Statistical significant level was p < 0,05. The local time varying magnetic field intensity was measured using a local magnetometer located in Lithuania which is part of the Global Coherence Monitoring Network. Patients were investigated by the variations of Schumann resonance intervals: SDelta [0; 3,5] Hz, STeta [3,5; 7] Hz, SAlfa [7; 15] Hz, SBeta [15; 32] Hz, SGama [32; 65] Hz. Results. 694 patients were analyzed in Cardiology Department of University Hospital at Lithuanian University of Health Sciences and 540 patients in Siauliai Republican Hospital. There were 731 males (59,2%) and 503 fe[...].
