Abstract
After publication of the article "Prevalence of heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction in China: the China Hypertension Survey, 2012-2015", 1 some concerns were raised regarding estimated size of the Chinese population with HF.After obtaining the prevalence (1.3%) of the Chinese adult population aged ≥35 years, we incorrectly used the Chinese adult population aged ≥18 years, instead of age ≥ 35 years, to estimate the size of the Chinese population with HF.As a result, the estimated Chinese population aged ≥35 years with HF was wrongly 13.7 million.The correct number should be 8.9 million.Therefore, on page 1329, 1333, and 1336 of this article, the corresponding numbers should be corrected as follows: "estimated 13.7 million" should be "estimated 8.9 million".
