Background Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD) is a life-threatening
complication of sepsis. Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signalling pathway is
significantly associated with SIMD in an animal model; however, there have been no clinical
studies of the association in humans. Methods We enrolled 88 patients with sepsis who
were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) between April 2017, and April 2018.
