Myocardial Injury in Patients With Sepsis and Its Association With Long-Term Outcome.

Background: Sepsis is frequently complicated by the release of cardiac troponin, but the clinical significance of this myocardial injury remains unclear. We studied the associations between troponin release during sepsis and 1-year outcomes.

Methods And Results: We enrolled consecutive patients with sepsis in 2 Dutch intensive care units between 2011 and 2013.
