c. Heart failure

Chronic cardiopulmonary disease (including congestive heart failure) is a well‑recognized risk factor for more severe RSV infection and hospitalization because decreased cardiopulmonary reserve worsens respiratory compromise. Alcohol use can increase general infection/pneumonia risk but is not as strongly linked to severe RSV; apixaban and hyperlipidemia are not major risk factors for severe RSV.
