Cardiovascular diseases: searching for alternative solutions to the problem from a biophysical perspective

Abstract. Modern cardiology is rapidly developing, driven by the achievements of the technical revolution. Progress in cardiology over the past 50 years has been tremendous and obvious. The expansion of visualization's technical capabilities and the possibility of using artificial intelligence play significant roles in successfully transforming cardiology. These innovations provide diagnostic accuracy and advances in interventional cardiology. However, cardiovascular diseases continue to be a serious global medical problem. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide and rank first in the structure of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Because the incidence of CVDs and NCDs has reached the level of a pandemic worldwide, the search for new and alternative solutions to solve the problem continues and is relevant. CVDs continue to be a challenge for modern scientists in the biomedical field. The review is devoted to the search for new directions for solving the problem of cardiovascular diseases in the future. The aim of this study is to briefly describe the current state of development of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary knowledge that can become the basis for further scientific research on this topic. Materials and methods. General scientific and theoretical methods were used during the theoretical research. The review describes new areas such as quantum cardiology, magneto cardiology, the concept of biophoton signaling, and the influence of the Earth's electromagnetic fields on the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. Conclusions: 1) The biophysical direction of cardiology's development is an invariant and important direction for deepening the medical paradigm, which opens up new ways of solving the problem of cardiovascular diseases. 2) Research into the features of electromagnetic communication in cardiovascular system cells is an important task and challenge for modern scientists. This research will reveal the mechanisms of cellular integration into a single organism. 3) Knowledge of the fundamental aspects of electromagnetic communication of cells of the cardiovascular system and the whole organism will become a new basis for deepening the paradigm of the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases and chronic non-communicable diseases. They will allow us to reveal aspects of the electromagnetic influence of the heart on other internal organs and tissues, as well as on the mutual electromagnetic exchange of energy and information at the level of the entire organism. 4) Knowledge of the fundamental aspects of electromagnetic communication between the cells of the cardiovascular system and the entire organism will make it possible to understand how exactly the electromagnetic parameters and mechanisms of functioning in the human body are connected with the electromagnetic parameters and chronobiological dynamics of the Earth’s electromagnetic field.
