Background • This study documents our experience with ESMR in patients with known Coronary Artery Disease, Refractory Angina Pectoris and Ischemic Heart Failure.
Methods Inclusion Criteria • CAD • Ischemic cardiomyopathy • Ischemic heart failure • Refractory angina • SPECT-documented reversible ischemia Exclusion criteria • Non ischemic cardiomyopathy • Decompensated heart failure • Intraventricular thrombus • Malignancy
Results Table 1. Patient Demographics Table 2. Revascularization History The mean age was 65.89 +11.24 years.

Results • All patients tolerated the treatment well. • No ECG changes, new wall motion abnormalities, and adverse events were reported.
Conclusion • Our experience with ESMR showed promising results for patients with CAD, ischemic cardiomyopathy and ischemic heart failure patients with refractory angina. • ESMR improved symptoms, delayed the ischemic threshold and increased exercise tolerance and improved myocardial perfusion. • ESMR appeared safe and may improve symptoms which could lead to less hospitalizations.
