Bendopnea is a newly described symptom of heart failure, meaning shortness of breath when leaning forward.[1][2][3][4][5] It was introduced by Thibodeau et al. in 2014.[1][2] Patients with heart failure often experience this when bending over to tie a shoe or putting socks on.[1][2] It has been defined as occurring within 30 seconds of bending over, but could occur in as few as 8 seconds.[3] When a patient is in heart failure, it often means the ventricular filling pressures are high at baseline.[1][2] When said person bends forward, it causes a further increase in ventricular filling pressures, especially in patients with lower cardiac indices.[1][2] The term "bendopnea" was coined to be easily identifiable among patients and physicians.[3]
