The Smidt Heart Institute of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center recently notified JCI Insight of data misrepresentation in this article, discovered in the process of internal review. In particular, natural history controls without surgical intervention were admixed with data from rats randomized to receive surgical placebo infusion, without correct attribution. The authors have indicated that the conclusions of the article may be valid; however, the corresponding author and the institution deemed the data misrepresentation sufficiently substantive to request retraction. Therefore, JCI Insight is retracting this article.
