Abstract

Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SICM) is a complex and fatal manifestation of sepsis, characterised by myocardial dysfunction that exacerbates the clinical prognosis in septic patients. While the pathophysiology of SICM remains incompletely understood, emerging evidence highlights the multifaceted functions of exosomes, small membrane-bound extracellular vesicles, in mediating the inflammatory responses and cardiac dysfunction involved in this condition. During sepsis, exosomes are secreted by various cells, such as cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells and macrophages, which serve as critical messengers, transferring proteins, lipids and RNA molecules that influence recipient cells, thus affecting cellular functions and disease progression. This review summarises the pathophysiology of SICM and the basics of exosomes and focuses on exosome-mediated mechanisms in SICM, including their role in inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and myocardial injury, offering novel insights into the exosome-based therapeutic strategies in SICM.
