    Myocardial injury is prevalent in sepsis and linked to adverse outcomes, with coronary microvascular dysfunction proposed as a contributing factor.

  • 2

    The study aimed to assess coronary microvascular function in sepsis patients with myocardial injury using invasive thermodilution-based methods.

  • 3

    Patients were enrolled based on elevated plasma hs-cTnT concentrations, meeting Sepsis-3 criteria, and were screened for eligibility.

  • 4

    Coronary angiography was performed to evaluate obstructive coronary artery disease and assess coronary microvascular function in sepsis patients.

  • 5

    The study was ethically approved, conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, and all participants provided informed consent.
