Abstract

Full text

The Journal of Clinical Medicine retracts the article “Vasopressin Receptor Antagonists for the Correction of Hyponatremia in Chronic Heart Failure: An Underutilized Therapeutic Option in Current Clinical Practice?” [1], cited above.

Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the publisher regarding potential redundancy with a previous publication [2] from the same authorship group.

Adhering to our complaint’s procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and the Editorial Board that confirmed a significant overlap between the two publications. As a result, the Editorial Office and Editorial Board consider this publication [1] to be redundant, and therefore have decided to retract it as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30) and in line with the Committee on Publication Ethics’ retraction guidelines (https://publicationethics.org/retraction-guidelines).

This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Clinical Medicine.

The authors did not provide a comment on this retraction decision.
