Purpose
Patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy may continue to experience persistent chest pain and shortness of breath despite conventional medical therapy and/or revascularization. The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of taking Ranexa versus placebo in patients with ischemic (due to blockages) cardiomyopathy treated with optimal conventional medical therapy and/or percutaneous revascularization.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Ischemic cardiomyopathy patients on optimal medical treatment. Optimal medical treatment is defined as the continued symptoms of chest pain or dyspnea despite treatment with 2 antiischemic agents (beta blockers, CCB or nitrates). Unless contraindicated, all cardiomyopathy patients should be treated with a beta blocker and an ACEI/ARB.
- Anginal chest pain or dyspnea
- Documentation of non treatable or optimally treated coronary artery disease
- Ejection Fraction of less than or equal to 40%
Exclusion Criteria:
- Less than 18 years of age
- Pregnant or breast feeding
- Patients with non ischemic cardiomyopathy
