Exploration and validation of signature genes and immune associations in septic cardiomyopathy

An early and accurate diagnosis of septic cardiomyopathy is vital for improving the overall prognosis of sepsis. In our research, we aimed to identify signature genes and their immune connections in septic cardiomyopathy. By analyzing the mouse myocardial transcriptome from sepsis induced by cecum ligation and puncture (CLP), we identified four distinct k-means clusters. Further analysis of human myocardial datasets using Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) revealed a strong correlation between the MEturquoise module and septic cardiomyopathy (cor = 0.79, p
