Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to compare survivability and efficacy of the patients with severe ischemic heart failure after coronary artery bypass grafting alone and coronary artery bypass grafting with single-step implantation of CRT system (CABG alone vs CABG + CRT )

Study Arms (2)
CABG alone
ACTIVE COMPARATORStandard coronary artery bypass grafting according guidelines
CABG+CRT
EXPERIMENTALStandard coronary artery bypass grafting according guidelines with concomitant three bipolar epicardial leads implantation for cardiac resynchronization therapy
Interventions
Standard coronary surgry according guidelines
During the cardiac surgery, the CABG+CRT arm patients will be implanted with epicardial leads to the right atrium, right and left ventricles. Left ventricle leads will be fixed to the posterolateral wall provided that there is no scar or fat tissue (behind and 2-3 cm apical than obtuse marginal artery). Right atrial and right ventricular leads will be fixed in a traditional way. Then the leads will be guided into a preformed pocket (left subclavian region) and connected with the CRT device.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Men and women
- Age 18-80
- History of ischemic heart failure and indications for CABG
- LVEF less than 35% estimated by echocardiography measured within 3 months of study entry
- NYHA and CCS (angina) II-IV functional class
- Signs of dyssynchrony (at least one of the following three): QRS \> 120 ms or dyssynchrony based on Doppler-methods (Tissue Tracking and TSI methods) or CARE HF criteria: Aortic pre-ejection delay \>140ms, Interventricular mechanical delay \>40 ms, Delayed activation of postero-lateral LV wall
You may not qualify if:
- Failure to provide informed consent.
- Previous cardiac surgery
