Influenza A virus (IAV) causes a wide range of extra-respiratory complications, ranging from central nervous system disease to cardiac disease. Obesity/overweight has previously been identified as a susceptibility factor for both severe influenza and cardiac disease. We therefore sought to investigate the systemic pathogenesis of influenza in an obese mouse model with a focus on cardiac complications of influenza.
