Error in the First Paragraph

JAMA Cardiol. 2022;7(2):233. doi:10.1001/jamacardio.2021.5225

In the Editorial titled, “The Potential and Pitfalls of Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring,”1 which published online October 27, 2021, the following sentence is incorrect: “Beyond this recommendation, however, some investigators have called for even more aggressive de-risking of patients with a CAC score of 0, suggesting that even those with familial hypercholesterolemia and a CAC score of 0 may not need statins.” The sentence has been updated to the following: “Beyond this recommendation, however, some investigators have called for broader de-risking of patients with a CAC score of 0, suggesting that even those with familial hypercholesterolemia and a CAC score of 0 may not need add-on therapy beyond statins and ezetimibe.” This article was corrected online.
