          1. familial
          2. post-tricuspid shunts
            1. VSD
              1. AVSD
                1. PDA
                2. HIV infection
                  1. persistent pulmonary hypertension of newborn
                  2. pulmonary venous hypertension
                    1. left-sided heart disease
                      1. pulmonary vein stenosis or compression
                      2. pulmonary hypertension w/ respiratory disease
                        1. obstructive sleep apnoea or upper airway obstruction
                          1. chronic obstructive or premature lung disease
                            1. interstitial lung disease
                            2. pulmonary thromboembolic disease
                              1. pulmonary inflammatory or capillary disease
                              2. =high pulmonary Pa, mean > 25mmHg
                                1. most kids w/ pul HTN have a large post-tricuspid shunt w/ high pul blood flow & low resistance
                                  1. e.g. VSD, AVSD, PDA
                                  2. Pa falls to normal if defect surgically corrected within 6 months old
                                    1. if left untreated
                                      1. high flow and Pa causes irreversible damage to pulmonary vascu bed (pul vasc disease)
                                        1. not correctable except by heart/lung transplant
