Heart failure revascularisation
ISRCTN ISRCTN86284615
DOI 10.1186/ISRCTN86284615
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier
EudraCT number
Public title Heart failure revascularisation
Scientific title
Acronym N/A
Serial number at source G9900791
Study hypothesis To determine whether coronary revascularisation, improves the survival of patients with heart failure due to coronary disease who have evidence of dysfunctional but viable myocardium or stress-induced ischaemia (but who do not require revascularisation for the relief of angina) and who are receiving optimal medical treatment.
Lay summary
Ethics approval Not provided at time of registration
Study design Randomised controlled trial
Countries of recruitment United Kingdom
Disease/condition/study domain Heart failure with left ventricular systolic dysfunction
Participants - 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
Participants - 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
Anticipated start date 01/01/2002
Anticipated end date 30/09/2011
Status of trial Completed
Patient information material
Target number of participants 800
Interventions Best medical therapy versus best medical therapy and revascularisation
Primary outcome measure(s) All-cause mortality
Secondary outcome measure(s) 1. All-cause mortality or myocardial infarction more than 72 hours from coronary revascularisation
2. All-cause mortality and all-cause hospitalisation
3. All-cause mortality and unplanned cardiovascular hospitalisation
4. Days alive and out of hospital
5. Death, non-fatal myocardial infarction or non-fatal stroke
6. Symptom scores for angina and heart failure
7. Quality of life (using EuroHeart Failure, EQ-5D and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaires)
8. Mean cost of Therapy (a health economic outcome)
Sources of funding Initial funding provided by the Medical Research Council (UK).
