AB  - OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of home-based exercise and physical activity 
      on cardiac functional performance in patients after acute myocardial infarction 
      (MI) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. METHODS: This 
      retrospective study enrolled patients that received treatment of acute ST-segment 
      elevation MI between and were followed-up 6 months later. The patients were 
      divided into physically active and inactive groups based on their levels of home 
      exercise after hospital discharge. RESULTS: A total of 78 patients were enrolled 
      in the study: 32 were physically active and 46 were physically inactive. The 
      baseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups. At the 6-month 
      visit, left ventricular ejection fraction and six-minute walking test (6MWT) were 
      significantly improved while the proportion of patients with a New York Heart 
      Association (NYHA) functional III classification was decreased in the active 
      patients, whereas these parameters were not significantly changed in the inactive 
      patients. In addition, the 6MWT was greater while the proportion of patients with 
      an NYHA III classification was lower in the active group than the inactive group 
      at the 6-month visit. CONCLUSION: Maintaining physical activity at home was 
      associated with improved cardiac functional performance in patients after acute 
      MI during the COVID-19 pandemic.
