Physical activity not only strengthens the heart muscle, but also restarts the nervous nodes regulating its function. This conclusion was researchers from the British University of Bristol. This discovery can help develop new treatments of heart diseases, arrhythmias and stenocardia to a "broken heart" syndrome. The study was published in AUTONOMIC NEUROSCIENCE (AN) magazine.
"We found the" automatic pilot "of the body hidden left-right pattern that manages the heart. These nervous nodes regulate the intensity of signals. We have shown that moderate exercises restart their function in different ways, "said Dr. Augusto Copin, the head of the study of the University of Veterinary Anatomy of the Bristol University.
Researchers have used advanced three-dimensional analysis to study the nervous structures of the rats. They found that after the 10-week training, the number of neurons of the right heart grown roughly four times compared to the controller group. Moreover, the left side neurons almost doubled in size, while the neurons on the right were slightly shortened.
Today's arrhythmias, chest pain and "broken heart syndrome" are often treated with a target of star skullies, a pair of nerve pile of nervous pieces that send signals to "accelerate." According to researchers, the understanding of the reconstruction of these structures can allow nervous blockades or demolition to improve the efficiency of therapy.
The authors emphasize that these are experiments on animals, and clinical trials are needed. In the near future, the team plans to study how the structural changes are related to relaxation and stress in the real function of the heart, and to verify whether this effect is repeated in larger animals and people.
