Ney Carter Borges, Member Cardiologist of Global Physician Association at Cleveland Clinic Florida, posted on LinkedIn about a recent article by Caihua Liang et al, published in JAMA Network:
”Risk of Cardiorespiratory Events Following RSV-Related Hospitalization
Key Findings (Adults, n = 11,887):
- Myocardial Infarction: IRR 8.7 (95% CI 6.7–11.2) in days 1–7; risk remains elevated up to 63 days
- Stroke: IRR 7.4 (95% CI 5.5–10.1) in days 1–7; persists up to 63 days
- CHF Exacerbation: IRR 12.5 (95% CI 10.5–14.8) in days 1–7; elevated up to 84 days
- COPD Exacerbation: IRR 23.1 (95% CI 20.2–26.5) in days 1–7; sharp early peak
- Arrhythmia: IRR 16.5 (95% CI 14.5–18.7) in days 1–7; elevated up to 42 days
Design: Self-controlled case series (2017–2024)
Adjustment: Age, RSV seasonality, influenza, and COVID-19 activity
Clinical Message: RSV-related hospitalization is associated with a marked early surge in major cardiovascular and respiratory events, with clinically relevant risk persisting for weeks to months, reinforcing RSV prevention and vaccination strategies in adults.”
