Brief Summary  
100 patients with refractory ischemic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction will be included in this study by invitation.
A prospective cohort study design will be employed and patient volunteers will be followed up over a period of 2 years. The volunteers after fulfilling the inclusion exclusion criteria will be subjected to baseline investigations involving 6 MWD, MLHFS, NT pro BNP,  LVEF by Simpson’s biplane method and GLS using 2 dimensional echocardiography.
Patients will be subjected to daily sessions of Hyperbaric oxygen therapy ( 20 x 90 minute sessions ) followed by 40 EECP sessions ( 1 hour each ) over a period of 6 weeks. They will be assessed at the end of therapy with same investigations at baseline. Follow up will continue at frequent intervals at 6 months , 1 year and 2 years.
