View Original AbstractWiFi exposure for just one hour increased rabbit heart rates by 22% and blood pressure by 14%, suggesting cardiovascular effects from common wireless radiation.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed rabbits to WiFi signals (2.45GHz) for one hour and measured their heart function and blood pressure. The WiFi exposure increased heart rate by 22% and blood pressure by 14%, while also disrupting normal heart rhythm patterns. This suggests that common WiFi radiation can directly affect cardiovascular function, even after just brief exposure.
Why This Matters
This study provides compelling evidence that WiFi radiation affects the cardiovascular system in ways that go beyond simple heating effects. The 22% increase in heart rate and 14% rise in blood pressure after just one hour of exposure demonstrates measurable physiological changes at the cellular level. What makes this research particularly significant is that it shows WiFi doesn't just speed up the heart - it actually disrupts the heart's electrical timing patterns and interferes with how stress hormones like dopamine and epinephrine normally regulate cardiovascular function. While we can't directly extrapolate animal results to humans, this study adds to growing evidence that our wireless devices may be affecting our bodies in ways we're only beginning to understand. The reality is that most of us are exposed to WiFi signals for far longer than one hour daily, often at closer distances than the 25cm used in this study.
Exposure Information
Specific exposure levels were not quantified in this study. The study examined exposure from: 2.45GHz Duration: 1h
Study Details
Electrocardiogram and arterial pressure measurements were studied under acute exposures to WIFI (2.45GHz) during one hour in adult male rabbits.
Antennas of WIFI were placed at 25cm at the right side near the heart.
Acute exposure of rabbits to WIFI increased heart frequency (+22%) and arterial blood pressure (+14%...
These results suggest for the first time, as far as we know, that exposure to WIFI affect heart rhythm, blood pressure, and catecholamines efficacy on cardiovascular system; indicating that radiofrequency can act directly and/or indirectly on cardiovascular system.
