Bendopnea is a symptom of heart failure (HF) recently described by Thibodeau et al., characterized by difficulty in breathing when leaning over. It frequently occurs when performing everyday actions such as tying shoelaces or putting on socks. Dyspnea in its various forms (exertional dyspnea, orthopnea and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea) is a major and extremely common symptom in HF. Exertional dyspnea is also found in other conditions, particularly respiratory disease, and is thus a moderately sensitive but relatively nonspecific marker of HF. Orthopnea is more directly associated with increased filling pressures and is thus much more specific. In their original description of bendopnea, published in 2014, Thibodeau et al. analyzed the frequency of this symptom in patients with HF with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (HF with reduced ejection fraction [HFrEF]) referred for cardiac catheterization. The investigation of bendopnea in this study was based on an objective assessment, in which the patient adopted the appropriate position in the presence of an investigator, and the symptom was identified in 28% of individuals.
