Methods And Results: A community based survey for prevalence of RF/RHD was done in four villages of different districts of Himachal.
Article Synopsis
- A community-based study was conducted in Himachal Pradesh to assess the prevalence of hypertension, as previous data was lacking.
- Out of 1,092 adults surveyed, 35.89% were diagnosed with hypertension, with higher rates in males (39.8%) than females (33.15%), and a significant number (24.45%) were in the pre-hypertensive range.
- The study found that only 21.98% of hypertensive individuals were aware of their condition, and among those, only 20.23% had their blood pressure under control, indicating a need for better awareness and management strategies.
Background: Cardiovascular disease has emerged as a major health burden worldwide. There is no study in Himachal about the prevalence of coronary heart disease (CHD), hence the purpose of the study.

The present paper illustrates our attempt to design and test the reproducibility of low-cost patient positioning devices prepared in-house in our radiotherapy department. Rigid thermocole boards with angulations, scales and support were designed as breast, pelvis and head positioning devices. Reproducibility and accuracy were tested by serial electronic portal imaging detector imaging.
