Association Between Geomagnetic Activity and Unsuccessful Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) represent a significant global health challenge, with a survival rate <10%. Recent research has demonstrated that geomagnetic activity (GMA) can disrupt the circadian rhythm. Therefore, GMA may affect patient outcomes after an OHCA event wherein resuscitation is attempted.
