To evaluate whether percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with contemporary drug-eluting stents (DES) combined with guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), compared to GDMT alone, reduces the time to first occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) through 12 months in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and a left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤40%. MACE is a composite of cardiovascular \[CV\] death, spontaneous myocardial infarction (MI), any unplanned revascularization, heart failure (HF)-related rehospitalization, heart transplantation, requirement of device implantation (e.g., valvular treatment, pacemaker, or left ventricular assist device \[LVAD\]), or requirement of intravenous medications due to worsening heart failure in outpatients.
