Primary Outcome Measures:
  • H01-Total mortality; H02-Long-term survival free of cardiac hospitalization [ Time Frame: H02 will be providing results in 2009; H01 results are anticipated in 2011-2 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Cost-effectiveness [ Time Frame: H02: 2010; H01:2012 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Quality of life [ Time Frame: H02:2010; H01: 2012 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Exercise capacity [ Time Frame: H01: 2012; H02: 2010 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Treatment-specific prediction of primary endpoints by baseline measurements of myocardial ischemia and viability and by baseline and post-treatment measurements of LV size and function, and neurohormonal and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels [ Time Frame: H01: 2012-3, H02: 2010-11 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment: 2136
Study Start Date: January 2002
Estimated Study Completion Date: April 2016
Estimated Primary Completion Date: April 2016 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
1
Ho1: active medical therapy alone
 Other: Modern Medical Management
State-of-the-art medical therapy for coronary artery disease and heart failure management.
Experimental: 2
H01: coronary bypass surgery (CABG) intervention and Medical Therapy
 Procedure: Coronary Artery Bypass
The experimental group receives medical therapy and CABG, whereas the control group receives medical therapy alone.
Other: Modern Medical Management
State-of-the-art medical therapy for coronary artery disease and heart failure management.
Procedure: Surgical Ventricular Restoration
H02: the experimental arm receives active medical therapy and CABG and surgical ventricular restoration whereas the control group receives active medical therapy and CABG; for Ho1: the experimental arm receives active medical therapy and CABG whereas the control group receives active medical therapy alone
