An 18 year old male presents with dyspnea and cyanosis. He says he was diagnosed with a large VSD when he was younger, but he was lost to follow up because his family moved to the province. On auscultation, you barely hear the systolic murmur but note a very loud second heart sound. He also has clubbing of his fingers. What do you think happened to this patient?

a. The patient now has Eisenmengerization, that is why the second heart sound is loud
b. The physician before made a mistake, the patient has Tetralogy of Fallot
c. The patient’s VSD is now closing, hence the decreased intensity of the murmur
