1 September 1996 | Volume 125 Issue 5 | Page 428
Page 43 of the recent Update on Cardiology (1) contained errors in the reporting of inclusion criteria, medication, and dosage. The following sentence corrects these errors:
If LDL cholesterol levels were still at least 155 mg/dL (4.0 mmol/L), with one of the two previously measured levels at least 174 mg/dL (4.5 mmol/L) and one level 232 mg/dL (6.0 mmol/L) or less, and if no major electrocardiographic abnormalities were seen, patients were randomly assigned to receive pravastatin (40 mg/d) or placebo.
