Abstract:

Geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs)—transient variations in Earth’s magnetic field driven by solar activity—have garnered increasing attention for their potential impact on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular outcomes, including stroke. A growing body of epidemiological research has documented the correlations between geomagnetic storms and stroke incidence, particularly among high-risk populations. However, mechanistic studies remain scarce and existing findings are often inconsistent across geographic regions, stroke subtypes, and patient-specific variables. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the literature on GMDs and cerebrovascular health, highlights the physiological pathways that potentially link GMDs to stroke, and identifies key gaps in current research. We propose future interdisciplinary directions for integrating space weather forecasting with clinical neurology to inform early-warning systems and stroke prevention strategies.

General note:

Communications of the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory (ComBAO) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, which publishes research in observational and theoretical astronomy/astrophysics and presents recent advances in these fields. It is being published by the NAS RA V. Ambartsumian Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory (BAO) in English in electronic form. The journal publishes original papers, review papers, brief reports, book reviews, special communications, observational and theoretical results in various fields of astronomy and related sciences, and some editorial notes, including anniversaries and obituaries. Under the heading “Legacy”, the renewed magazine will republish some old articles of high value in English. The heading “Guest articles” will bring to the attention of readers the articles of researchers who are not employees of BAO. ComBAO was founded in 1946 and regularly published in 1946-1990. However, the publication was interrupted because of the economic situation after the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991.
