The authors and the editors retract this publication.

The authors have identified a mistake in the genotyping analyses underlying this study. Although the result that a 9p21.3 polymorphism affects the prognosis after STEMI in high-risk patients stands, the re-evaluation of the data shows that the allele A is the correct risk allele for death for the rs4977574 polymorphism, and not allele G as reported in the article.

The authors have completed additional work to validate the genotyping results from this study and these data will be published as a new publication.

The authors and the editors apologize to the readers.
