<h2><u>Orthopnea</u> is the symptom to ask about in the cardiovascular review of systems to a patient with a complaint of breathlessness with activity</h2>

Explanation:

  • Breathlessness with activity refers to dyspnea which is shortness of breath upon exertion.
  • Orthopnea is breathlessness or shortness of breath in a lying position that is often relieved with standing or sitting up.  
  • Both dyspnea and orthopnea occur due to high pressure of the pulmonary blood vessels and leakage of fluids into lungs which leads to breathlessness or labored breathing.
  • This happens mostly due to underlying heart failure or disease and is a typical symptom of congestive heart failure.
  • Hence, the presence of orthopnea needs to be asked during a cardiovascular review of systems , when a patient is already having dyspnea.
