A member asked:
After a sepsis death, that results in a heart failure, if needed can sepsis be found or confirmed from histology sample blocks of the heart .thank you?

May be: Sepsis is a broad category and changes in the heart alone may not be diagnostic. If the person and infection of the heart, e.g., endocarditis, that would support the diagnosis of sepsis. However, sepsis by definition is a multi-system disease and would require examination of multiple organs.
