The correct answer is D. associated with stenosis of the pulmonic valve and a loud holosystolic murmur.
Cor pulmonale is a condition where the right side of the heart becomes enlarged and strained due to high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension). It is often caused by chronic lung diseases such as COPD, pulmonary embolism, or sleep apnea.
