2011, Presse MedicaleCitation Excerpt :Previous studies have largely concentrated on SSc-associated PAH (SSc-PAH), with a disease prevalence estimated to be between 7.5 and 12% [77,78]. Some degree of PHT complicates the course of SLE in 5–14% of the patients [79–81]. PHT prevalence and severity of disease in patients with SLE tend to increase with time [82].

2008, American Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :The symptoms were relieved dramatically, and she was discharged 12 days later. Pulmonary hypertension is an uncommon pulmonary manifestation of SLE, occurring in 0.5% to 14% of patients with SLE [3-7], although it has well-known association with other connective tissue disease, especially scleroderma and overlap syndrome [8]. Goupille et al [9] found that PH is often diagnosed after a well-established SLE, with a mean delay of 4.9 years.
