Abstract
The idea of shielding patients against, negative influence of geomagnetic d isturbances was declared by A.L. Tchijevsky. The shielding chamber for pati ents with high sensitivity to geomagnetic variations was created in Central Railway Hospital in 1991. The positive effect of protection of patients wi th ischemic heart disease during magnetic storms was demonstrated.
