Summary
This study tests whether a herbal medicine called Danhong injection can help protect the heart in people with sepsis, a life-threatening infection. Researchers will give 140 patients either the injection or a placebo for 7 days and check heart function and survival rates. The goal is to see if this treatment reduces heart damage and improves outcomes.
