The objective of the study was to describe the frequency of acute myocardial injury (AMI) assessed by high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) levels and to determine the possible initial risk factors (related to the characteristics of the patient, the disease, and the initial management) in a population of adult patients with early sepsis (within the first 72 h of diagnosis) in a single tertiary hospital center in western Mexico. This evidence concerns the gene TNNI3 and Sepsis.
