    Correction to: Impact of a 2‑year trial of nutritional ketosis on indices of cardiovascular disease risk in patients with type 2 diabetes

    Correction to: Cardiovasc Diabetol (2020) 19:208 10.1186/s12933-020-01178-2 Following publication of the original article [1], the author noticed an error in the last sentence of "Lipid analyses" under Methods section. The last sentence should read, “ApoB: ApoA1 ratios were computed. Non-HDL cholesterol was calculated as total minus HDL cholesterol and remnant cholesterol was assessed as total cholesterol minus (HDL-cholesterol plus LDL-cholesterol)”. The original article has been corrected.

    Type 2 Myocardial Infarction Related to Very Low Carbohydrate Ketogenic Diet
    (Sage, 2022) Taha, Ahmed; Ahmed, Selma; Ahmed, Roaa; Mohammed, Ahmed; Medicine, School of Medicine
    A 38-year-old male with no history of cardiac disease presented with chest pain typical of acute coronary syndrome. He assumed very-low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet (VLC-KD) 4 weeks prior to admission but no other lifestyle change. Workup showed dynamic ST-T changes on electrocardiogram, significantly elevated troponins, ketonuria, and mild rhabdomyolysis. Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed mild inferior wall hypokinesia and cardiac catheterization showed normal coronaries; hence, the diagnosis of type II myocardial infarction (MI) was established. Although the pathogenesis remains unclear, this temporal association between VLC-KD and type 2 MI raised some concerns about VLC-KD’s cardiovascular safety profile.
