The answer is the fourth one (D): Myocarditis.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Cardiomegaly: This term refers to an enlargement of the heart. It does not indicate inflammation but rather an increase in the size of the heart, which can be due to various conditions such as hypertension or heart valve disease.

  2. Cor pulmonale: This term describes a condition where the right side of the heart fails due to high blood pressure in the lungs, often caused by chronic lung disease. It is not related to inflammation of the heart muscle.

  3. Tamponade: This refers to cardiac tamponade, a condition where fluid accumulates in the pericardium (the sac around the heart), leading to decreased heart function. It is not an inflammation of the heart muscle.

  4. Myocarditis: This term specifically means inflammation of the heart muscle (myocardium). It can be caused by infections, autoimmune diseases, or exposure to certain toxins.

In summary, myocarditis is the correct term for inflammation of the heart muscle.
