Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Heart failure (in the investigators' opinion) with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction less than 35%) requiring chronic diuretic therapy
  • 2\. Coronary disease as the cause of heart failure as evidenced by a history of previous myocardial infarction, previous revascularisation or previous angiography
  • 3\. Stress\-induced myocardial ischaemia or evidence of myocardial hibernation/stunning affecting five or more left ventricular segments in a 16\-segment model. The core laboratories will make the decision about whether the test identifies a sufficient volume of affected myocardium

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Patients who are not candidates for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) because of frailty or serious co\-morbidity (eg:\- severe lung disease, metastatic carcinoma)
  • 2\. Unstable angina, myocardial infarction or stroke within the preceding two months
  • 3\. Inability to give written informed consent
  • 4\. Unwilling to consent to being contacted directly by staff at the data centre or unwilling to allow their hospital notes to be copied and sent to the data centre
  • 5\. Patients being considered for revascularisation for the relief of chest pain (angina) or valve surgery
  • 6\. Patients involved in another randomised controlled trial
