Author's Commentary: The author has personally participated in the preparation of JNC reports (JNC1 through JNC7, including the first meeting of Dr Cooper) until he voluntarily retired from the JNC after 32 years. After publication of JNC8, he expressed his concern about the recommendation of the goal BP of ≤150 mmHg. He supported the minority committee's report at the most recent annual ACC meeting (2014), specifically concerning the goal BP ≤150 mmHg, the exclusion of nonpharmacological therapeutic recommendations, and failure to identify the JNC8 (2013) committee's organizational membership.

Editor's note:, The article in question—“Pulmonary Hypertension in a Patient with Congenital Heart Defects and Heterotaxy Syndrome”—will be corrected prior to print publication.
