Key Points

  • Cardiac events are significantly linked to respiratory syncytial virus disease in older adults, indicating serious health impacts.
  • Older adults with RSV disease show a higher heart failure risk than those with influenza, at a rate noted in the literature.
  • Systematic literature review and meta-analysis reveal the connection between RSV and cardiac events in older populations.
  • Further research is essential to clarify the timeline of risk for cardiac events following RSV disease.

Abstract

RSV disease poses significant risks beyond respiratory illness, including cardiac events, among older adult patients. RSV was associated with a higher risk of HF compared to influenza. Further research is needed to more precisely define the risk period of cardiac events following RSV disease.
