Abstract Background: Individuals recovering from acute coronary syndrome (ACS) often experience persistent impairments in functional capacity and cognitive health, which may adversely affect recovery and quality of life. However, data examining the relationship between these domains during the post-acute phase remain limited.

Objective: To determine the prevalence and severity of functional capacity and cognitive impairment among individuals recovering from post-acute ACS and to examine the association between functional capacity and cognitive health.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 120 clinically stable patients aged 40–75 years, evaluated 4–12 weeks after ACS. Functional capacity was assessed using the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), and cognitive function using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Correlation analysis was performed to examine the relationship between functional capacity and cognition.

Results: Participants had a mean age of 58.7 ± 9.1 years, with 69.2% males. A substantial proportion demonstrated reduced functional capacity and mild cognitive impairment. A moderate positive correlation was observed between 6MWT distance and MoCA scores (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: Reduced functional capacity and cognitive impairment are common in individuals recovering from post-acute ACS. The significant association between functional capacity and cognitive health highlights the importance of integrated cardiac rehabilitation strategies that address both physical and cognitive domains during recovery.
