Is there a connection to cardio-artery disease and pulmonary hypertension?
Pulmonary hypertension(P-h) is a syndrome that involves heart and lung. Diseases like COPD (chronic pulmonary disease) May also cause pulmonary hypertension. Not all the cardio-artery disease is related to P-h. Heart has valves. Dysfunction of these valves will cause tension to the blood flow, leading to p-h.
Medical terminology for coronary artery disease?

What is the cause of pulmonary stenosis?
Pulmonary stenosis is often caused by congenital heart defects where the pulmonary valve is abnormally narrow. This narrowing restricts blood flow from the right ventricle to the lungs, leading to increased pressure in the right side of the heart. Pulmonary stenosis can also be acquired later in life due to conditions like rheumatic heart disease or infective endocarditis.
What is Pulmonary valve stenosis also called?
I guess you refer to the pulmonary valve stenosis which usually is due to the valve calcification when less blood supply will go from right ventricle of heart to the pulmonary circulation. The right ventricle will be hypertrophied because it's working harder then before.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is also know as what?
Emphysema
