Correction to: Alshami et al. BMC Cardiovasc Disord (2021) 21:161 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12872-021-01972-0

Following the publication of the original article [1], an error was identified in the Acknowledgements section.

The sentence “The authors would like to acknowledge all the 174 collaborators who facilitated data collection in their institutions” should be replaced with “Not applicable”.

The original article has been corrected as well.
