Objectives
 At the conclusion of this lecture the participant
should be able to:
 Define Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) and discuss
its clinical relevance, including various modes of evaluation
and diagnosis.
 Discuss and define the various subgroups of PAH according
to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification.
 Discuss available treatment strategies and their
mechanisms for selected WHO subgroups.
Definition
 Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension:
“is a syndrome resulting from restricted flow through the
pulmonary arterial circulation resulting in increased
pulmonary vascular resistance and ultimately in right heart
failure. ”
ACCF/AHA 2009 Expert Consensus Document on Pulmonary Hypertension
Clinical Diagnosis
 Clinical Definition of pulmonary
hypertension:



Mean PA pressure>25 mm Hg
PCWP <15mm Hg
Cardiac output may be normal or reduced

Presentation
 Shortness of breath with exertion
 Dry cough
 Lower extremity edema
 Weakness & malaise
 No Physical Exam findings other than those
associated with Right Heart failure can reliably
diagnose pulmonary hypertension
American Thoracic Society source document on Pulmonary Hypertension
Epidemiology of Pulmonary Hypertension
 Average age at presentation- 36 years
 Prevalence women>men by 2:1
 Three year survival after diagnosis ~50%
 Incidence: 10-15 people per million of population
 Number of U.S. patients: 10,000-20,000.
 Patients who survive go on to be candidates for total
lung transplant.

MISCELLANEOUS
Class I Pulmonary Hypertension
 Idiopathic (IPAH)
 Heritable (HPAH)
 Bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 (BMPR2)
 Activin receptor-like kinase 1 gene (ALK1), endoglin
 Drug- and toxin-induced
 Cocaine,Amphetamines
 Fenfluramine (Taken off the market)
 Associated with (APAH):
 Connective tissue diseases (SLE)
 Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
 Portal hypertension
 Congenital heart disease (CHD)
 Schistosomiasis
 Chronic hemolytic anemia
 Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN)

Class II Pulmonary Hypertension
 PAH with Left Heart Disease:




Mitral Valve Disease (Stenosis/Regurgitation)
Aortic Valve Disease (Stenosis/Regurgitation)
Systolic Dysfunction
Diastolic Dysfunction
J Am Coll Cardiol. 2009;54:S43–54.
Class III Pulmonary Hypertension
 PAH secondary to hypoxia:
 COPD
 Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)
 Pulmonary Diseases with Mixed Restrictive and Obstructive
Patterns
 Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
 Alveolar Hypoventilation Disorders
 Chronic Exposure to High Altitudes
J Am Coll Cardiol. 2009;54:S43–54.
Class IV Pulmonary Hypertension
 Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
(CTEPH)


Patients may have presentations consistent with
hypercoagulable states.
Common heritable sources of thrombosis include:
Factor V Leiden
 Prothrombin G 20101A Mutation
 Proteins C & S Deficiency
 Lupus Procoagulant

J Am Coll Cardiol. 2009;54:S43–54.
Class V Pulmonary Hypertension
 Miscellaneous
Hematological disorders: myeloproliferative disorders,
splenectomy
 Systemic disorders: sarcoidosis, pulmonary Langerhans
cell histiocytosis, lymphangioleiomyomatosis,
neurofibromatosis, vasculitis
 Metabolic disorders: glycogen storage disease, Gaucher
disease, thyroid disorders
 Others: tumor obstruction, fibrosing mediastinitis,
chronic renal failure on dialysis
