Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The Raynaud's syndrome is not commonly associated with development of Pulmonary Artery Hypertension, on vast study of cases; it is documented that scleroderma patients do manifest with PAH in 25% of cases.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
