Erratum to: Cardiovasc Diabetol (2016) 15:12 DOI 10.1186/s12933-016-0329-1

After publication of the original article [1], the authors found that there was an error in Table 1. In Table 1 provided in the accepted submission, “13.00 ± 6.97” had mistakenly been included below the Diabetes duration row in the T2DM + CVD column.

The original article has been corrected in order to remove this unnecessary value from Table 1.
