Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a specific form of pulmonary hypertension (PH). While PAH is a type of PH, not all PH is PAH. PH can be categorized into five groups based on its causes:

1. Group 1: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)
2. Group 2: PH related to heart disease
3. Group 3: PH related to lung disease
4. Group 4: PH caused by blood clotting disorders
5. Group 5: PH with poorly understood associations to other disorders
