Reviewing the week ending October 23, 2009, we highlight the following heartwire articles:

• Zero CAC score not 100% reassuring in those presenting to ER with chest pain

• Current risk equations may overestimate CVD risk in diabetic patients

• Thiazolidinediones have a role for appropriate diabetic patients

• TYCOON: One year of dual-antiplatelet therapy with DES isn't enough

• ACE inhibitors of benefit in ischemic heart disease patients with preserved LV function

Join us for an audio recap of the news that is important to cardiologists this week.
