Scientific titleHeart Revascularisation Trial - UK
Study acronymHeart Revascularisation Trial - UK
Study objectivesPatients with heart failure, left ventricular systolic dysfunction and definite coronary disease in whom angina is not the predominant symptom will be identified. Cardiac nuclear techniques or stress echocardiography will then be used to identify patients with substantial stress-induced ischaemia or myocardial hibernation/stunning. Patients with either of these problems will be randomised to best medical treatment alone versus best medical therapy and angiography with the intention of, where possible, revascularisation. Revascularisation may be by whichever conventional means the attending cardiologist and cardiac surgeon agree is advisable. Patients will be followed until 90% of patients in the worst performing group have died to determine the effect of the above interventions on all-cause mortality, symptoms, quality of life and recurrent hospitalisation.
Ethics approval(s)MREC, ref: 0/3/35

2. Optimal medication

Follow-up length: 60 months
Study entry: single randomisation only
Intervention typeMixed
Primary outcome measureSurvival
Secondary outcome measuresDetermine whether coronary revascularisation reduces all-cause and cause-specific hospitalisation

Eligibility

Participant type(s)Patient
Age groupAdult
Lower age limit18 Years
SexBoth
Target number of participantsPlanned sample size: 140; UK sample size: 140
Total final enrolment138
Key inclusion criteria1. Heart failure (in the investigators opinion) 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. Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction less than 35%)
4. Stress-induced myocardial ischaemia or evidence of myocardial hibernation/stunning affecting five or more left ventricular segments in a 16-segment model
5. Male and female, lower age limit of 18 years
Key exclusion criteria1. Inability to give written informed consent. No age limits are stipulated but patients will have to be over 18 years to give consent and some patients may be considered too frail to survive surgery and would be excluded.
2. Patients who are not candidates for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery because of frailty or serious co-morbidity, e.g., severe lung disease, metastatic carcinoma. N.B. Some patients will be candidates for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) but prior to randomisation (i.e. prior to doing an angiogram for study purposes) the investigator should be willing to send the patient to CABG surgery in case that is the preferred mode of revascularisation.
3. Unstable angina, myocardial infarction or stroke within the preceding 2 months
4. Patients being considered for revascularisation for the relief of chest pain (angina) or for valve surgery
