Here is a chart a few newer members may not have seen before. It is useful in figuring out the different groups of Pulmonary Hypertension. You will note that Group 1 is Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and its possible causes.

Forgot to say i have a cardiologist.

I am in group 1. I have idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension.

You know Kris, when I went to my first visit with my PH specialist in December, he said he thought I was more of a group I due to my Mixed Connective Tissue Disease, I thought I would be group 3 due to my ILD, I will get another echo with him in March and we will go from there. He also is a cardiologist but I also have a local cardiologist and primary, then pulmonologist, rheumatologist and PH specialist at Univ. of Chicago.

Iam in group 3 and 2
