N2 - Background: Mental stress can trigger myocardial ischemia in a substantial percentage of patients with coronary artery disease, but the prevalence of mental stress induced ischemia is unknown in patients with heart failure. Increased neuroendocrine activation in these patients could significantly impact the effects of mental stress on coronary blood flow and myocardial perfusion. Objective: The purpose of the current study was to characterize mental stress-induced versus adenosine-induced changes in myocardial ischemia in heart failure patients with reduced LV function using singlephoton emission computed tomography (SPECT) to objectively and precisely quantify segment-level myocardial perfusion. Methods: Entry criteria included a history of heart failure>3 months, ejection fraction
