Healthy volunteers
Not accepted
You may be eligible if
Female patients 18-75 years of age inclusive
Stable angina classified as CCS III or IV
Receiving treatment with at least two classes of chronic anti-anginal medication, of which two are at the maximally tolerated dose
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of ≥30%
Not a candidate for, or unlikely to benefit from standard revascularization procedures as verified by an independent cardiologist or cardiothoracic surgeon (not a study investigator) at each center
Can undergo ETT using the modified Bruce protocol and;
1. ECG changes diagnostic of myocardial ischemia occur during the first 10 minutes of exercise
2. Variability of the time to onset of ECG changes diagnostic of myocardial ischemia is ≤25% or within 60 seconds if the time to onset of myocardial ischemia occurs within the first 4 minutes of exercise as determined by two consecutive screening treadmill tests
Evidence of stress induced myocardial ischemia by adenosine SPECT, defined as a reversible perfusion defect size of ≥9%
Willing and able to comply with the study requirements including long-term follow-up
Provided written informed consent
You may not be if
Patients of childbearing potential (must be surgically sterile or post-menopausal)
Patients for whom an immediate revascularization procedure is indicated (CABG surgery or PCI)
Myocardial infarction within the past 3 months
Unstable angina or hospitalization requiring intravenous anti-anginal therapy within the 14 days prior to the start of screening evaluations
Congestive heart failure NYHA Class IV
Electrocardiogram that precludes accurate assessment of exercise induced myocardial ischemia (e.g., left bundle branch block, Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome, atrial fibrillation)
Myocarditis or restrictive pericarditis

Coronary ostial stenosis that precludes adequate catheter engagement in any target vessel
Coronary artery to venous communications, which bypass the coronary capillary bed

Moderate to severe nonproliferative or proliferative retinopathy from any cause (ETDRS score \>35), clinically significant macular edema, or previous panretinal photocoagulation therapy
Heparin induced thrombocytopenia or history of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura or other medical condition causing thrombocytopenia
