Alpha Particle Fluxes and Ischaemic Heart Disease Mortality - Study for Bulgaria and Los Angeles, California, USA

According to the World Health Organization, ischemic heart disease is at the top of the list of morbid causes of death on the planet. In the present work:

• Data are given showing the alarming phenomenon – the probable impact of positively charged particles with high energy of solar origin on mortality from ischemic heart disease in Bulgaria, South-East Europe;
• A hypothetical mechanism is proposed to explain this phenomenon; and
• This mechanism predicts at which specific points on the planet increased mortality from ischemic heart disease should have occurred on specific dates in the last 50 years with satellite data.

An example is given for Los Angeles County, California, USA, in which the described phenomenon has led to increased mortality at specific dates, fully in accordance with the proposed hypothetical mechanism.
