Following publication of the original article [1], the author has changed the table 3 and it should read as follows:

Also, the baseline QRSd value were changed from 33.9 ± 3.9% to 33.1 ± 3.0%.

So, the text under "Baseline characteristics" will read as follows:

The echocardiographic indices, including LVEF, LVEDD, NYHA classification, and NT-proBNP are shown in Table 3. Baseline parameters were similar between the two groups (all P > 0.05). The baseline LVEF and the baseline QRSd (Fig. 2a) were 33.1 ± 3.0% and 168.2 ± 18.9 ms, respectively. At baseline, the QRSd of the two groups were matched (158.0 ± 13.0, vs. 176.7 ± 19.7, P > 0.05).

Also, text under "Follow‑up" will read as follow: Transthoracic echocardiogram (Fig. 3b) evaluation data at baseline and at the 3-month and 9-month follow- ups were available in all 21 patients receiving successful aCRT. As shown in Table 3, the symptoms and the median NYHA classification score improved significantly, with the latter decreasing from 3.36 ± 0.50 to 2.45 ± 0.52 (P = 0.016). LVEF (33.1 ± 3.0% vs. 45.4 ± 8.7%, P = 0.002) and NT-proBNP (2937 ± 1646 vs. 1832 ± 1541, P = 0.014) significantly improved at the follow-up visit. LVEDD (65.1 ± 9.1 mm vs. 58.7 ± 10.2 mm, P = 0.319) was improved at the 9-month follow-up visit, but the improvement was not significant.
