Scientists at the University of Bristol (UK) discovered that moderate aerobic exercise changes the structure of nerve cells involved in regulating heart activity. Even more surprisingly, the changes were dramatically different on the two sides of the body. The findings, published in Autonomic Neuroscience, could eventually help doctors develop more precise treatments for irregular heartbeats, chest pain, angina, and stress-induced ‘broken-heart’ syndrome.
