Breathless while tying your shoes? US cardiologist warns of hidden heart risk

Cardiologists are warning that breathlessness when bending down, known as bendopnea, could signal early heart trouble. This common symptom, often dismissed as aging or poor fitness, occurs when the heart struggles with increased blood flow. Research shows it's linked to heart failure and hospitalisation risk. Seek medical advice if you experience this.
