This corrigendum concerns: Ringenberg et al. Effects of Fibrosis Morphology on Reentrant Ventricular Tachycardia Inducibility and Simulation Fidelity in Patient-derived Models. Clinical Medicine Insights: Cardiology 2014:8(S1) 1–13 doi: 10.4137/CMC.s15712. Two authors’ names were omitted from the original article, Natalia Trayanova and Michael Miller. The affiliations of Drs. Trayanova and Miller are listed in the amended author list above.
The labs of Drs. Trayanova and Miller jointly developed the method used in the original paper to estimate the fiber orientations in each patient’s heart.1 Some fiber estimations conducted in the course of the research published in the original paper were conducted in Dr. Miller’s lab, using software developed by Dr. Miller’s team. The methodology for image-based fiber estimation has been previously used in a human retrospective study to assess, in a patient-specific manner, the pattern of infarct-related ventricular tachycardia (study involving 13 patients).2
The editor in chief has reviewed this matter against the relevant Committee on Publication Ethics procedure and agrees to the publication of this corrigendum. The editor-in-chief thanks Dr. Trayanova for bringing this matter to the journal’s attention.
