In the published article, measurements in Table 2 were displaced. A formatting error resulted in strain percentage with confidence interval for the first and third lines were displayed upwards. The published Table 2 is printed below, followed by the corrected Table 2 and its caption.
Table 2.
Global circumferential and longitudinal strain.
| Myocardial strain direction | Mean % (SD) | 95% CI for mean |
|---|---|---|
| GCS | −13.6 (3.7) | −14.9 to −12.2 |
| Fast-SENC | ||
| FT | −13.6 (3.7) | −15.0 to −12.2 |
| GLS | −14.8 (2.9) | −15.9 to −13.7 |
| Fast-SENC | ||
| FT | −13.0 (2.8) | −14.0 to −11.9 |
| 2DEcho | −13.3 (3.7) | −14.7 to −11.9 |
Global circumferential strain (GCS) and global longitudinal strain (GLS) derived from fast-SENC, FT and 2DEcho. Means and standard deviation (SD) in parenthesis with 95% confidence intervals are presented.
Faulty Table 2:
In the published article, three figures that displayed SD in the first paragraph under “Results” were printed as hyperlinks to the list of references.
The authors wish that a correction is made to “Results, scar and ejection fraction” in terms of removing the hyperlinks displayed below. These sentences previously stated:
“Scar and ejection fraction
The subjects were enrolled and treated with the pPCI after identification of the culprit artery in each case. The cohort displayed a median door-to-balloon time of 67 min. The average scar size was 15 (9) % of LVM with a median Troponin-T of 1,640 ng/l, equivalent to 164 × upper level of normal. LGE revealed scars in 240 out of 510 segments (47%) with 122 segments having scar transmurality <25%, 78 segments between 25 and 49%, and only 40 segments had a transmurality ≥50%. In 13 patients the LVEFCMR was little affected, LVEFCMR ≥ 50%. Patients with maintained LVEFCMR had smaller scar size 10 (5)% than those with depressed LVEFCMR <50% whose scar size was 19 (10)%, (p < 0.01). Patient demographics and CMR imaging characteristics are presented in Table 1.”
The corrected sentences appears below:

The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
