Impact of Dietary Patterns and Interventions on Cardiovascular Health

Correction
In the article by Zarraga and Schwarz, “Impact of Dietary Patterns and Interventions on Cardiovascular Health,” which appeared in the August 29, 2006, issue (Circulation. 2006;114:961--973), 2 entries in Table 3 were incorrect. On the first line, the results of the Nurses’ Health Study should read, “GL correlated directly with risk of coronary events,” as was stated in the text. In the third to the last study, by Raitt et al, the results should read, “1.8 g/day fish oil … Among patients with VT as qualifying rhythm for entry into trial, intervention resulted in significant increase in VT/VF occurrence.”
Additionally, on page 967, the references for the first sentence, “Although appealing to advocates of the GI or glycemic load, this result did not find consistent support from observational studies (Table 3),” should be references 25, 78, and 79. The authors regret the errors.
