Correction
In the article entitled, “Sex differences and the effects of sex hormones on hemostasis and vascular reactivity” byDorie W. Schwertz, PhD, RN, FAAN, and Sue Penckofer, PhD, RN, in the November/December 2001 issue (HeartLung 2001;30:401-26), on pages 411 and 416, the abbreviation nm should have read nmol/L (nanomolar) and the abbre-viation µm should have read µmol/L (micromolar).
