      Cor pulmonale is enlargement of the right ventricles as a result of pulmonary hypertension. Chronic lung disease, primary pulmonary hypertension, multiple pulmonary emboli and massive obesity with sleep apnea are common causes. An ECG interpreted as showing “p-pulmonale” suggests that cor pulmonale is present.
