Brief Summary
The main objective is to investigate mechanical alternans and MTWA in patients with heart failure caused by coronary artery disease to demonstrate a possible correlation between these two phenomena.

Eligibility Criteria
Patients admitted to the hospital with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) under 35%, due to coronary artery disease with an indication for electrophysiological investigation.
You may qualify if:
- Patients with heart failure caused by coronary artery disease
- Indication for left ventricular radiofrequency (LV RF) ablation
- LVEF ≤ 35% measured by echocardiogram or MRI
You may not qualify if:
- hemodynamically instable patients
- age under 18 and over 85 years,
- heart failure not caused by coronary artery disease
- Severe co-morbidity
