Sepsis is a dangerous disease with high mortality, which brings a huge economic burden to patients and society and has attracted more and more attention from the society. Sepsis is a systemic infectious disease. The dysregulated host immune response caused by infection is easy to cause multiple organ damage, and the heart is one of the most vulnerable organs, which leads to septic myocardial dysfunction. Therefore, the treatment of sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction is a difficult and important point. In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine has shown great advantages in the treatment of this disease. Through the combination of disease differentiation and syndrome differentiation, the overall treatment rate can be significantly improved. Therefore, it is a bright prospect for the treatment of sepsis myocardial dysfunction with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine. In recent years, the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine has made some progress in the treatment of sepsis, which has significantly reduced the mortality of sepsis.
