Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients with chronic stable angina (>2 months duration) who are on no background antianginal therapy other than short acting nitrates will be recruited. Entry criteria comprise a positive exercise ECG (>2mm ST segment depression at the J2 point) at 3-9 mins on a modified Bruce protocol treadmill exercise test and a positive dobutamine stress echocardiogram.
  • This should now be:
  • Patients aged 18 and over with chronic stable angina (>=2 months duration). Patients can be on background anti-anginal therapy, however this dose of the background treatment has to ideally remain fixed during the trial. Entry criteria comprise a positive exercise ECG (>=1mm ST segment depression at the J point) within 9 mins on a modified Bruce protocol treadmill exercise test and either a positive dobutamine stress echocardiogram and/or a positive myocardial perfusion scan (MPI) and/or a positive coronary angiogram. Patients who meet these entry criteria but who have not had a 'clinical' dobutamine stress echocardiogram may also be asked to undergo a screening dobutamine stress echocardiogram (DSE). Those patients who have a positive DSE will be asked to have two further DSE's (one at the end of each limb of the study), which is a predefined secondary endpoint assessment.
