New European research has found that individuals who listen to just 30 minutes of music a day after having a heart attack, may experience less pain and anxiety.

Led by researchers at the University of Belgrade School of Medicine in Serbia, the new study looked at 350 patients who had been diagnosed with heart attack and early post-infarction angina, which refers to the episodes of chest pain experienced soon after a heart attack.
