Erratum to: J Echocardiogr DOI 10.1007/s12574-013-0196-7

The original version of this article unfortunately contained errors.

In the Methods section under the subheading “Echocardiography,” in the first paragraph, the 13th sentence, “The ELCo was calculated as [EOA − AA]/(AA − EOA) [12, 13, 18].” should be “The ELCo was calculated as [EOA × AA]/(AA − EOA) [12, 13, 18].”

In the Discussion section, in the fourth paragraph, the last sentence, “Theoretically, ELI the reflects LV pressure overload better than the EOAI.” should be “Theoretically, the ELI reflects LV pressure overload better than the EOAI.”

In Table 4, “Atrial fibrillation (%)” should be “Atrial fibrillation [n (%)].”

The authors apologize for the errors.
