Description

In this episode:

  • A multidisciplinary panel explores the morbidity associated with viral respiratory infections, especially those with cardiovascular disease
  • How the impact of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) on patients with heart disease could potentially be prevented
  • How you could proactively advocate for RSV vaccination, amongst other vaccines for older adults; thereby supporting your patients to potentially prevent lower respiratory tract disease
  • By taking a proactive approach, rather than a reactive one; the quality of life and functional outcomes of your patients, including cognitive outcomes could be much better
