Eligibility Criteria

Enrollment Requirements

Inclusion Criteria

  • Symptomatic heart failure defined as NYHA Class II - IV (within 3 months of entry)
  • LV less than 35% defined by CMR or gated SPECT studies
  • Coronary anatomy suitable for revascularization

Exclusion Criteria

  • Primary valvular heart disease clearly defined indicating the need for valve repair or replacement
  • Patients with concurrent cardiogenic shock or requiring inotropic or intra-aortic balloon support
  • PCI planned for CAD treatment
  • Acute myocardial infarction within 30 days
  • More than one prior cardiac operation
