Abstract
In several human adults, certain solar activity rhythms may influence an about 7-day rhythm in heart rate. When no about-weekly feature was found in the rate of change in sunspot area, a measure of solar activi ty, the double amplitude of a circadian heart rate rhythm, approximate d by the fit of a 7-day cosine curve, was lower, as was heart rate its elf. The changing time structure (chronome) of heart rate corresponds to about-weekly features in solar activity and/or relates to a sunspot cycle.
