ABSTRACT
SARS-CoV-2 infection of the vascular endothelium causes excessive vasodilation. It is important in the rehabilitation of patients with COVID-19 to recognize that increased blood flow in lung lesions at the base of the lung due to vasodilation may cause V/Q mismatch and result in platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome.
