Bendopnea, or dyspnoea with bending forward, is a recently described symptom of heart failure that is associated with elevated ventricular filling pressures. Here, we describe a case of superior vena cava (SVC) stenosis that presented with bendopnea and resolved with SVC recanalisation. We suggest that SVC stenosis be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients who experience bendopnea.
前屈性呼吸困难，即向前弯腰时出现的呼吸困难，是最近描述的一种心力衰竭症状，与心室充盈压升高有关。在此，我们描述一例上腔静脉（SVC）狭窄病例，该病例表现为前屈性呼吸困难，经SVC再通后症状缓解。我们建议，对于出现前屈性呼吸困难的患者，在鉴别诊断时应考虑SVC狭窄。
