Arterial hypertension is one of the most prevalent cardiovascular diseases worldwide and remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Recent studies have demonstrated that geomagnetic activity may influence cardiovascular function and contribute to fluctuations in blood pressure. This article examines the relationship between geomagnetic activity and arterial hypertension, focusing on the potential mechanisms through which magnetic storms affect cardiovascular regulation. Increased geomagnetic activity may alter autonomic nervous system function, stimulate neurohumoral responses, and impair vascular endothelial function, leading to elevated arterial blood pressure and an increased risk of hypertensive complications. Particular attention is given to the role of geomagnetic disturbances in triggering hypertensive crises among susceptible individuals. The study also highlights preventive and diagnostic approaches aimed at reducing cardiovascular risks during periods of increased geomagnetic activity.
