A recent letter to the editor painting ‘a cynical and unflattering ’ picture of doctorsregarding their management of coronary heart disease patients in Malaysia hasprovoked a response from a prominent consultant cardiologist,DR DAVID K.L.QUEK. 

Although it is clear that the writer has some in-depth knowledge regarding several aspects of the modern therapy of coronary artery disease, especially those related to angioplasty, stents, coated stents and coronary bypass surgery, his assumptions on how heart specialists deal with this evolving science, on the other hand, are extremely contentious.
