An analysis is presented of myocardial infarction (MI) incidence during a 366-day period. Results were compared with prognostic and real unfavourable days by geomagnetic values (data of the Geophysical Institute in Göttingen (Germany)). There was no essential morbidity rise in the unfavourable days but a greater number of IM was noted during coincidence of prognostic and real unfavourable days. Among the patients persons with a definite psychological background prevailed. It is suggested that a greater sensitivity to geomagnetic factors is acquired during psychological and physical readaptation reflecting destabilization of the regulatory systems of the human body.
