==Overview==
Pulmonary hypertension can be classified into primary pulmonary hypertension (of unknown cause) which is currently known as idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) and secondary pulmonary hypertension due to another medical condition.  The most common cause of pulmonary hypertension is [[left heart failure]].  Other common causes include [[HIV]], [[systemic sclerosis]], [[portal hypertension]], [[congenital heart disease]] and [[sickle cell disease]].<ref name="pmid14985486">{{cite journal| author=Gladwin MT, Sachdev V, Jison ML, Shizukuda Y, Plehn JF, Minter K et al.| title=Pulmonary hypertension as a risk factor for death in patients with sickle cell disease. | journal=N Engl J Med | year= 2004 | volume= 350 | issue= 9 | pages= 886-95 | pmid=14985486 | doi=10.1056/NEJMoa035477 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=14985486 }} </ref>
[[Pulmonary hypertension]] may be caused by either [[left heart failure]] (the most common cause) or other somewhat common causes such as [[HIV]], [[systemic sclerosis]], [[portal hypertension]], [[congenital heart disease]], and [[sickle cell disease]].
The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified PH based on etiology into five distinct groups: Group 1 (pulmonary arterial hypertension), Group 2 ([[PH]] due to [[left heart failure]]), Group 3 ([[PH]] due to [[chronic lung disease]] and/or [[hypoxemia]]), Group 4 ([[PH]] due to [[chronic thromboembolic disease]]), and Group 5 ([[PH]] due to multifactorial mechanisms).

===Life Threatening Causes===
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. Pulmonary hypertension in itself is not a life threatening condition, but it is progressively fatal if left untreated. [[Pulmonary embolism]] and acute [[left heart failure]] are two causes of pulmonary hypertension that can be quickly fatal.

Overview

Pulmonary hypertension may be caused by either left heart failure (the most common cause) or other somewhat common causes such as HIV, systemic sclerosis, portal hypertension, congenital heart disease, and sickle cell disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified PH based on etiology into five distinct groups: Group 1 (pulmonary arterial hypertension), Group 2 (PH due to left heart failure), Group 3 (PH due to chronic lung disease and/or hypoxemia), Group 4 (PH due to chronic thromboembolic disease), and Group 5 (PH due to multifactorial mechanisms).

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.

  • Pulmonary hypertension itself is not a life-threatening condition, but it is progressively fatal if left untreated. Pulmonary embolism and acute left heart failure are two causes of pulmonary hypertension that can be quickly fatal.

Common Causes

The most common cause of pulmonary hypertension is left heart failure leading to pulmonary venous hypertension. Other common causes of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) include:[1][2][3][4]

Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

When none of the causes on this page can be found, the disease is termed idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH).

Causes in Alphabetical Order

Causes by Clinical Classification

Class 1: Pulmonary arterial hypertension

  1. Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension
  2. Heritable (BMPR2, ALK-1, ENG, SMAD9, CAV1, KCNK3)
  3. Drug and toxin induced

Class 2: Pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease

  1. Left ventricular systolic dysfunction
  2. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction
  3. Valvular disease
  4. Congenital/acquired left heart inflow/outflow tract obstruction and congenital cardiomyopathies

Class 3: Pulmonary hypertension due to lung diseases and/or hypoxia

  1. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
  2. Interstitial lung disease
  3. Other pulmonary diseases with mixed restrictive and obstructive pattern
  4. Sleep-disordered breathing
  5. Alveolar hypoventilation disorders
  6. Chronic exposure to high altitude
  7. Developmental lung diseases

Class 4: Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension

Class 5: Pulmonary hypertension with unclear multifactorial mechanisms

  1. Hematologic disorders: Chronic hemolytic anemia, Myeloproliferative disorders, splenectomy,
  2. Systemic disorders: Sarcoidosis, pulmonary histiocytosis, lymphangioleiomyomatosis
  3. Metabolic disorders: Glycogen storage disease, Gaucher disease, thyroid disorders
  4. Miscellaneous: Tumoral obstruction, fibrosing mediastinitis, chronic renal failure, segmental PH
