In the article, “Role of Inflammation in Arterial Calcification” in volume 51(2), page 114-125, some unfortunate errors occurred and we would like to correct the errors as written below. The changes are underlined.
We apologize for the error and the inconvenience that we caused.

Before correction
In an analysis of 6,722 men and women enrolled in the multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis, coronary calcium scores of 1–100, 101–300 and > 300 were associated with hazard ratios of 9.67, 7.73 and 3.61, respectively, compared to subjects with a calcium score of 0.11)
After correction
In an analysis of 6,722 men and women enrolled in the multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis, coronary calcium scores of 1–100, 101–300 and > 300 were associated with hazard ratios for any coronary events of 3.61, 7.73, and 9.67, respectively, compared to subjects with a calcium score of 0.11)

Before correction
Documented well in a study by Mori et al.5) This group demonstrated that microcalcification and punctate/fragmented calcification were more likely to be associated with thin cap fibroatheroma, plaque erosion or plaque rupture; sheet calcification was more likely to be associated with healed plaque rupture or fibrocalcified plaques.
After correction
A comprehensive review by Mori et al5) showed that microcalcification and punctate/fragmented calcification are more likely to be associated with thin cap fibroatheroma, plaque erosion or plaque rupture; sheet calcification is more likely to be associated with healed plaque rupture or fibrocalcified plaques.
