Overview
In platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome the patient might complain of difficulty in breathing (dysnea) on assuming an upright posture.

In patent foramen ovale (PFO), the upright posture may increase shunting via the redirection of inferior vena cava (IVC) inflow towards the inter-atrial septum. The syndrome is also seen in conditions like right pneumonectomy, enlarged aortic root and prominent Eustachian valve
