Correction to: Long-term effectiveness and safety of self-management of oral anticoagulants in real-world settings.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Heart rate variability (HRV) is known to be impaired in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). Time-domain analysis of ECG signals traditionally relies heavily on linear indices of an essentially non-linear phenomenon. Poincaré plots are commonly used to study non-linear behavior of physiologic signal...
