Nov 11, 2024 · Patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) due to chronic lung disease (eg, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, or overlap syndromes) or conditions that cause hypoxemia (eg, obstructive sleep apnea, alveolar hypoventilation disorders) are classified as having group 3 PH .

May 4, 2022 · Patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) due to diffuse lung disease (eg, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, or overlap syndromes) or conditions that cause hypoxemia (eg, obstructive sleep apnea, alveolar hypoventilation disorders) are classified as having group 3 PH .

Group 3 PH encompasses several diseases including obstructive, restrictive, or mixed lung disease, developmental lung diseases, and includes states of chronic hypoxia such as sleep-disordered breathing, alveolar hypoventilation disorders, and chronic exposure to high altitude.
