In the article by Lu et al, “National Trends and Disparities in Hospitalization for Acute Hypertension Among Medicare Beneficiaries (1999–2019),” which appears in the November 23, 2021, issue of the journal (Circulation.2021;144:1683–1693. DOI: 10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.121.057056), a correction is needed.

In the What Are the Clinical Implications? section, the sentence “The marked increase in hospitalizations for acute hypertension raised concerns given the dramatic increase in health care costs.” has been changed to “The marked increase in hospitalizations for acute hypertension represents many more people suffering a potentially catastrophic event that should be preventable.”

In the Conclusions section in the abstract, “hypertensive emergencies” has been changed to “acute hypertension.”

In the Limitations section in the Discussion, an instance of “hypertension emergencies” has been changed to “acute hypertension,” and an instance of “hypertension emergency” has been changed to “acute hypertension.”

In the last sentence of the Discussion, “Counties of the South” was updated to “Counties of the South (so-called “Stroke Belt”).”

The update can be found in the current print and online version of the article, which is available at https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.121.057056.

在 Lu 等人的文章“医疗保险受益人中急性高血压住院治疗的国家趋势和差异（1999-2019）”中，该文章发表于 2021 年 11 月 23 日，该期刊（循环。2021；144：1683– 1693. DOI: 10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.121.057056)，需要更正。

在讨论的限制部分，“高血压急症”的实例已更改为“急性高血压”，“高血压急症”的实例已更改为“急性高血压”。
