Important information about the article “The direct relationship between vitamin D and heart failure A systematic review”.

Abstract

Dear readers of the BJIHS, it was with great surprise that we were informed by the co-author of the article entitled "The direct relationship between vitamin D and heart failure: A systematic review", Prof. Dr. Alanderson Alves Ramalho, published in the December 2019 edition, that he was not aware of this article and that he had not sent anything to the journal BJIHS. As we did not get any kind of response in the email informed by the corresponding author, we understand that the refusal of the noble Prof. Dr. must prevail in this situation. We formally apologize to the authors Flavia Santos Batista Dias, Priscila Oliveira de Miranda and Alanderson Alves Ramalho for this unusual situation. The article was removed from this newspaper and for now they still follow the negotiations to find out what really happened, and even the publication fee of R $ 295.00 was paid. I am grateful for the compression of all those involved and I ask that the article in question not be used as a reference in any study, with the penalty of not recognizing this newspaper about such publication.
