[Corrigendum] Connexin 43 reduces susceptibility to sympathetic atrial fibrillation.

Following the publication of the above article, the authors have realized that the data shown in Fig. 3B were published previously in Fig 1A of following publication, on which several of were co‑authors [Shu C, Huang W, Zeng Z, He Y, Luo B, Liu H, Li J and Xu J: Connexin 43 is involved in the sympathetic atrial fibrillation in canine and canine atrial myocytes. Anatol J Cardiol 18: 3‑9, 2017]. This error arose inadvertently; the corrected version of Fig. 3, also containing the correct data for Fig. 3B, is shown opposite. The authors are grateful to the Editor of International Journal of Molecular Medicine for allowing them the opportunity to publish this Corrigendum, and stress that this error did not significantly influence either the results or the conclusions of the paper. Furthermore, the authors apologize to the readership for any inconvenience caused.
