Impaired Training-Induced Adaptation of Blood Pressure in COPD Patients: Implication of the Muscle Capillary Bed [Corrigendum]

Abstract

Gouzi F, Maury J, Bughin F, et al. Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis. 2016;11:2349–2357. Page 2351, Results, Characteristics of the study subjects, right column, second paragraph, the text “Baseline muscle capillarization was assessed in a subgroup of 19 COPD patients and 17 CSs who were representative of the whole population (Table 2) and confirmed the muscle capillary rarefaction in COPD patients vs CSs (C/F ratio: 1.90±0.42 vs 1.57±0.26; P<0.01)” should read “Baseline muscle capillarization was assessed in a subgroup of 19 COPD patients and 17 CSs who were representative of the whole population (Table 2) and confirmed the muscle capillary rarefaction in COPD patients vs CSs (C/F ratio: 1.29±0.27vs 1.57±0.26; P<0.01)”.
