In this paper results revealing potential effects of solar activity (SA) and geomagnetic activity (GMA) on the dynamics of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in middle latitudes are described. Medical data were taken from all of emergency and first medical aid stations of Grand Baku Area with millions of inhabitants for the time period 2003-2005. In total 788 SCD cases were analyzed. ANalysis Of VAriance (ANOVA) was applied to study the significance of GMA influence, estimated by different geomagnetic indices, and the type of geomagnetic storms (caused by the solar origin magnetic clouds (MC) and by high speed solar wind streams (HSSWS)) on SCD. Correlation analysis was carried out and relevant coefficients were calculated. Obtained results revealed strong negative correlation between monthly averaged GMA and SCD in Baku for the considered period. ANOVA revealed that SCD number was largest on the days of low GMA, on the days of highest geomagnetic field variations and even on +2nd day after them. It was established that SCDs increased on the days of storms caused by HSSWS and remained higher till +2nd day after they finished.
