Regular exercise may do more than strengthen the heart<\/a> \u2014 it could also reprogram the nerves that control how the heart beats, new research has found.<\/p>\n

The discovery could eventually help doctors better treat common conditions such as irregular heart rhythms, chest pain, angina and stress-related “broken-heart” syndrome, according to scientists at the University of Bristol in the U.K.<\/p>\n

The study, which looked at lab rats trained over 10 weeks, found that moderate exercise does not affect the heart\u2019s nerve control system<\/a> evenly. Instead, it produces distinct and opposing changes on the left and right sides of the body \u2014 a split researchers say has gone largely unnoticed until now.<\/p>\n

SIMPLE LIFESTYLE CHANGES COULD SLASH HEART ATTACK RISK FOR MILLIONS, SCIENTISTS REPORT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“The discovery points to a previously hidden left\u2013right pattern in the body\u2019s ‘autopilot\u2019 system that helps run the heart,” Dr. Augusto Coppi, the study’s lead author and a senior lecturer in veterinary anatomy at the University of Bristol, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“This could help explain why some treatments work better on one side than the other and, in the future, help doctors target therapies more precisely and effectively,” Coppi added.<\/p>\n

After 10 weeks of aerobic exercise,<\/a> the researchers examined the animals\u2019 heart control nerves and found left\u2013right differences that did not appear in inactive rats, according to the research published in the journal Autonomic Neuroscience in September.<\/p>\n

On the right side, the nerve hub that sends “go faster” signals to the heart developed many more nerve cells, suggesting increased wiring. On the left side, however, the number of nerve cells did not rise as much. Instead, the existing cells grew significantly larger, indicating a different kind of adaptation.<\/p>\n

The findings show that exercise reshapes the heart\u2019s nerve control system in a side-specific way, rather than affecting both sides equally, the researchers said. Understanding that process could help doctors better target treatments, especially for patients who cannot exercise or whose symptoms persist despite lifestyle changes.<\/a><\/p>\n

Researchers compared the nerve clusters, known as the stellate ganglia, to a “dimmer switch” that fine-tunes how strongly the heart is stimulated. That fine-tuning is important because overstimulation of these nerves is linked to chest pain and dangerous heart rhythm problems.<\/p>\n

The findings are early-stage and based on animal research, however, so they do not prove the same effects occur in people. More studies are needed<\/a> before they could affect patient care.<\/p>\n

Researchers say future studies will explore whether similar left\u2013right nerve changes occur in people and whether they could help explain why some heart treatments work better on one side than the other, potentially paving the way for more precise, personalized care for angina and heart rhythm disorders.<\/a><\/p>\n

The study was conducted in collaboration with researchers from University College London, the University of S\u00e3o Paulo and the Federal University of S\u00e3o Paulo in Brazil.<\/p>\n

The findings add to growing evidence that regular, moderate exercise benefits the heart in ways scientists are beginning to understand better.<\/p>\n
