Overview
- The most common cause of pulmonary hypertension is left heart failure leading to pulmonary venous hypertension.
- Common causes of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) include HIV, systemic sclerosis, portal hypertension, sickle cell disease,[1] and congenital heart disease.
- Lung diseases that lower oxygen in the blood (hypoxia) are well known causes of pulmonary hypertension, including COPD, interstitial lung disease, Pickwickian syndrome or obesity-hypoventilation syndrome, and obstructive sleep apnea.
- Other causes include sarcoidosis, histiocytosis X, genetic diseases linked to known mutations[2][3], fibrosing mediastinitis, pulmonary embolism, and
thyroid disease.[4]However thyroid disease is only an association and is not regarded as causative.
- The use of weight loss pills has also led to the development of PAH in the past [5]
- Human herpesvirus 8, also associated with Kaposi's sarcoma, has been demonstrated in patients with PAH, suggesting that this virus may play a role in its development.[6] However, recent studies have been unable to find an association between HHV-8 and idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension.
- There also seems to be an association of idiopathic PAH (not only PAH caused by heart malformations) and Trisomy 21.
- When none of these causes can be found, the disease is termed idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH).

Complete Differential Diagnosis of the Causes of Pulmonary Hypertension
(By Clinical classification)
Class 1: Pulmonary Aterial Hypertension
- Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension.
- Heritable( BMPR2,ALK-1,Endogin...)
- Drug and toxin induced.
- Connective tissue diseases
- HIV
- Portal Hypertension
- Congenital heart diseases
- Schistosomiasis
- Chronic hemolytic anemia.
- Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the newborn
Class 2: Pulmonary Venous Hypertension or pulmonary hypertension owing to left heart disease
Class 3: Pulmonary Hypertension associated with disorders of the respiratory system and/or Hypoxemia
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
- Interstitial Lung Disease
- Pulmonary diseases with mixed restrictive and obstructive patterns.
- Obstructive sleep apnea.
- High Altitude(chronically).
- Developmental abnormalities.
Class 4: Pulmonary Hypertension due to chronic thrombotic and/or embolic disease
Class 5: Pulmonary Hypertension due to disorders directly affecting the pulmonary vasculature
- Hematologic disorders: Myeloproliferative disorders, splenectomy, polycythemia vera.
- Systemic disorders: Sarcoidosis, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, Neurofibromatosis, Vasculitis.
- Metabolic disorders: Glycogen storage diseases, Gaucher disease, thyroid disease.
- Miscellaneous: Tumor obstruction, fibrosing mediastinitis, chronic renal failure on dialysis.
