Correction to: Hypertension Research (2009) 32, 11–23; doi:10.1038/hr.2008.2

A machine number specified in the JSH Guidelines (Chapter 2, page 15) was incorrect.

On page 15, in the paragraph referring to the measurement of central blood pressure and augmentation index (AI) from radial artery pulse waves, the device ‘Omron Healthcare HEM7000AI’ was stated as being used. This should have read HEM9000AI.

The corrected sentence should therefore read:

In Japan, a device for measuring central blood pressure and AI from radial artery pulse waves (Omron Healthcare, HEM9000AI) is used.
