Hi Rebecca! I hope these links will answer your question. There are a number of causes of PH. With the exception of PAH, all other forms of PH originate from issues on the left side of the heart. I was diagnosed with APAH (associated pulmonary arterial hypertension). My PAH is caused by an autoimmune disease called Sjogren's that is included in the connective tissue family of diseases.
