Varbo A, Benn M, Tybjærg-Hansen A, Jørgensen AB, Frikke-Schmidt R, Nordestgaard BG Remnant Cholesterol as a Causal Risk Factor for Ischemic Heart Disease J Am Coll Cardiol 2013;61:427–36. In the Results section on page 430, R 2 should have been R. Hence, the last 2 sentences in that section read: Increased levels of plasma triglycerides were associated with increased levels of remnant cholesterol and with reduced levels of HDL cholesterol, while the association with LDL cholesterol was less pronounced (Fig. 2, top). Remnant cholesterol levels were highly correlated with nonfasting triglyceride levels (R 2 = 0.96, p < 0.001), inversely correlated with HDL cholesterol levels (R 2 = -0.45, p < 0.001), and less correlated with LDL cholesterol levels (R 2 = 0.12, p < 0.001) (Fig. 2, bottom). But should have read: Increased levels of plasma triglycerides were associated with increased levels of remnant cholesterol and with reduced levels of HDL cholesterol, while the association with LDL cholesterol was less pronounced (Fig. 2, top). Remnant cholesterol levels were highly correlated with nonfasting triglyceride levels (R = 0.96, p < 0.001), inversely correlated with HDL cholesterol levels (R = -0.45, p < 0.001), and less correlated with LDL cholesterol levels (R = 0.12, p < 0.001) (Fig. 2, bottom). Also, in the bottom panel of Figure 2, R 2 has been changed to R. The revised figure has been reprinted below.[Figure presented] The authors apologize for these errors. The online version of the article has been corrected to reflect these changes.
