research team found a signifcant relationship between the number of acute myocardial infarctions with

ST-segment elevation cases (STEMI) of electrocardiogram signal per week and the average weekly GMF

strength in diferent frequency ranges.

As shown in Figure 6.14 (Jaruševičius et al., 2018, data from the Hospital of Lithuanian University

of Health Sciences, Cardiology Clinic, 2016) in the female group, the Lithuanian research team found

a single positive correlation coefcient Sγ, which indicates that higher MF intensity in this frequency

range is signifcantly associated with increased number of STEMI cases. In other low-frequency ranges,

they observed negative correlation coefcients.
