No active symptomatic ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction or congestive heart failure within the past year; if multi gated acquisition (MUGA) is obtained, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) should exceed 40%
Ejection fraction >= 47% by radionuclide angiogram (multi gated acquisition scan [MUGA]); Note: the echocardiogram (or MUGA) may be done within 28 days prior to enrollment
Cardiac ejection fraction >= 45% or within institutional normal limits; a nuclear medicine gated blood pool examination is preferred; a two-dimensional (2-D) echocardiogram (ECHO) scan is acceptable if a calculated ejection fraction is obtained and follow-up measurement of the cardiac ejection fraction will also be performed by echocardiography; measurement of cardiac ejection fraction should be within two weeks prior to receiving treatment* NOTE: when a multi gated acquisition scan (MUGA) or echocardiogram cannot be obtained due to weekend or holiday, then patients may be enrolled provided there is no history of significant cardiovascular disease and a measurement of cardiac ejection fraction will be performed within 5 days of study enrollment
Patients must have a cardiac ejection fraction >= institutional lower limit of normal (ILLN) by multi gated acquisition (MUGA) scan or 2-dimensional (D) echocardiogram (ECHO) within 42 days prior to registration
Cardiac function:* Normal ejection fraction (>= 55%) documented by either echocardiogram or radionuclide multi gated acquisition scan (MUGA) evaluation; OR * Normal fractional shortening (>= 27%) documented by echocardiogram
Left ventricular ejection fraction >= institutional lower limit of normal (LLN) by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multi gated acquisition scan (MUGA)
Patients must not have a cardiac ejection fraction < 45% or the presence of New York Heart Association stage III or IV heart failure within 14 days prior to registration; either echocardiogram (ECHO) or multiple-gated acquisition scan (MUGA) may be used to determine ejection fraction
Left ventricular ejection fraction >= institutional lower limit of normal (LLN) by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multi gated acquisition scan (MUGA)
Patients must have a left ventricular ejection fraction >= lower limit of normal by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multigated acquisition scan (MUGA)
Patients must not have presence of class III or IV heart failure, according to New York Heart Association classifications, or a known left ventricular ejection fraction of less than 50%; Note: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) evaluation by echocardiogram or multi-gated acquisition scan (MUGA) is not required prior to registration
Left ventricular ejection fraction >= institutional lower limit of normal (LLN) by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multi gated acquisition scan (MUGA)
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) =< 55% as determined by multi gated acquisition (MUGA) scan or echocardiogram (ECHO)
Patients must have a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) >= institutional lower limit of normal (ILLN) by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multi gated acquisition scan (MUGA) within 28 days prior to registration
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) > 40% as assessed by echocardiogram or multi gated acquisition scan (MUGA)
Patients must have a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) >= 50% by (either multigated acquisition [MUGA] or 2-dimensional [2-D] echocardiogram) within 28 days of registration
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) assessment must be performed within 90 days prior to randomization; (LVEF assessment performed by 2-dimensional [D] echocardiogram is preferred; however, multi gated acquisition [MUGA] scan may be substituted based on institutional preferences;) the LVEF must be >= 50% regardless of the cardiac imaging facility's lower limit of normal
New York Heart Association class I or less; ordinary physical activity does not cause undue fatigue, palpitations, dyspnea, or angina pain; patients 60 years or older must have a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at rest >= 40% measured by echocardiogram or multi-gated acquisition (MUGA)
Left ventricular ejection fraction of > 50% on baseline echocardiography or multi-gated acquisition (MUGA) scan
Left ventricular ejection fraction < 50% on echocardiogram or multi-gated acquisition (MUGA)
Patients with left ventricular ejection fraction < 50% on echocardiogram or multigated acquisition scan will be excluded
Left ventricular ejection fraction =< 50% as demonstrated by echocardiogram or multigated acquisition scan (MUGA)
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) >= 50% by 2-dimensional (2D) echocardiogram (ECHO) or multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan; timeline: within 4 weeks prior to enrollment
CLINICAL/LABORATORY CRITERIA: Patients must have a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) >= institutional lower limit of normal (ILLN) by echocardiography (ECHO) or multi-gated acquisition scan (MUGA) within 42 days prior to registration
Patients must have an echocardiogram (ECHO) or multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan within 42 days prior to registration with a cardiac ejection fraction >= 45%
