Study hypothesis
Beating heart surgery in patients with poor ventricular function leads to improved early end systolic volume index as measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Ethics approval
Ethics approval received from Central Office for Research Ethics Committees (COREC) (ref: 05/Q1603/42)

Trial type
Treatment
Patient information sheet
Condition
Ischaemic heart disease
Intervention
The trial involves comparing standard on pump warm blood cardioplegia coronary artery bypass grafting to a modified surgical technique where the patient undergoes beating heart surgery but is maintained on cardiopulmonary bypass to decompress the left ventricle.
