A number of studies were published considering SCD, Cardiac Arrhythmias and Space Weather components. Aim of this study was to compare days of Electrical Heart Storms (ES) (≥ 3 daily episdes of VT,VF) with concomitant Solar, Geomagnetic, Cosmic Ray activity. 82 patients (72 men) with Ischemic Cardiomyopathy (ICM) and implanted Cardioverter –Defibrillators (ICD) were observed in 1999-2012. Electrical Heart Storms (ES) took place at lower Solar Activity, Geomagnetic Activity and higher Cosmic Ray (Neutron) activity daysin comparison with the total observation data -5114 days, ( (p=0.0001). We conclude that this observation is in accord with other data about links of SCD and Cardiac Arrhythmia, AMI with higher CRA (Neutron) activity level.
