Please note that an error was printed in the 10-year coronary artery disease risk row of Table 4, in which the ‘high’ and ‘low’ risk patient groups were reversed. The authors regret the error. The corrected part of the table is as follows:

TABLE 4.

Comparison of subjects below and above target low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels at six weeks

Patient group
Below target LDL-C (n=674) Above target LDL-C (n=163) P
10-year coronary artery disease risk, n (%)
  High 623 (92.4) 154 (94.5) 0.825
   Moderate 34 (5.0) 6 (3.7)
   Low 17 (2.5) 3 (1.8)
