Cardioprotection from stress conditions by weak magnetic fields in the Schumann Resonance band

" We show that applying 7.8 Hz, 90 nT magnetic fields (MF) causes a gradual decrease in the spontaneous calcium transients’ amplitude, reaching 28% of the initial amplitude after 40 minutes of MF application, and accompanied with a gradual decrease in the calcium transients’ rise time. The mechanical spontaneous contractions cease after the ScR fields have been applied for more than 30 minutes, when the calcium transient’s amplitude reached ~60% of its initial value." {Credits 1}

" ... we presented evidence that the influence of the 7.8 Hz magnetic field on contraction rate and CK release is independent of the field magnitude, and that a 7.8 Hz, 18 pT magnetic field, only one order of magnitude higher than the real SR signal, have a similar effect on the cardiomyocyte cultures. These two lines of evidence suggest that a 2 pT signal could have a similar impact on cardiomyocytes." {Credits 1}

" Only frequencies in the range 7.6–8 Hz caused a decrease of the calcium transients’ amplitude. There was no influence on the transients’ amplitude when 7–7.4 Hz and 8.4–8.6 Hz magnetic fields were applied. A large increase (~35%) was measured during the 8.2 Hz field appliance after 35 minutes with the magnetic field." {Credits 1}
