Correction to: Hypertension Research advance online publication 16 March 2017; doi:10.1038/hr.2017.31

Since the publication of this paper, the publisher has noticed an error in the article title. The Dahl salt was mistakenly typeset in lower case. This has been rectified and the corrected article appears in the issue together with this erratum.

We would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
