Abstract

Overview

Mobile wireless communication technologies are a constant in daily life, keeping the autonomous system under continuous exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF).

Findings

The study explores the effects of high-frequency electromagnetic fields (HF EMF) on heart rate variability (HRV) in healthy volunteers. Notable findings include:

• Significant impact on autonomic control of heart rate during EMF exposure.
• Changes in HRV metrics indicating a shift towards sympathetic overactivity.
• The deleterious effects of HF EMF exposure on cardiac autonomic regulatory integrity which might elevate cardiovascular risk profiles in healthy individuals.

Conclusion

Direct exposure to high radiofrequency EMF from Wi-Fi and 4G signals may predispose even healthy youths to cardiovascular complications.

Further research with larger sample sizes is needed to validate these findings.
