It is known that during the geomagnetic storms an increase of the functional activity of the cardiovascular dosorders. Previous attempts to protect patients from geomagnetic storms by the use of iron shielding seem not have been quite successful. An alternative possibility is to use active shielding, or rather a compensatory method, which involves the creation in a hospital room of three-dimensional magnetic field time-varying within the normal variations of the geomagnetic field. The generated field must be maximally uniform, it must compensate for magnetic disturbances while retaining natural geomagnetic conditions - the main (quasi-constant) geomagnetic field as well as its short-periodic variations. To satisfy these requirements theoretical calculations and their experimental examinations have been carried out. Investigations using a magneto-compensating installation should give an answer to the fundamental question: are the variations of the geomagnetic field, as one of the consequences of the solar activity, the major, or at least a sufficient factor responsible for exacerbation of disorders of cardiovascular system? If the answer is affirmative, the installation could be recommended for use clinical practice.
