Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Indira Gandhi Medical College, Shimla from July 2018 to June 2019. All consecutive patients of all types of ILDs, attending the outpatient services of the Department of Pulmonary Medicine, IGMC Shimla were enrolment and subjected to focused socio-demographic, Pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH), Radiological and Electrocardiogram (ECG) findings. Data was analyzed using Epi info V7 software by applying appropriate statistical tests. Results: The present study includes 50 patients of different types of ILD. Out of 50 patients, 44 (88%) had PAH. Out of 50 patients, among patients who had PH there were 31 (70.45%) patients had a reticular shadow on chest x-ray, 27 (61.76%) had reduced lung volume and 14(31.82%) patients had right pulmonary artery prominence .Out of 50 patients, among patients who had PH , 25 (57.52%) had UIP pattern , 10 (22.73%) NSIP pattern, one (2%) patient had CPFE and 7 (15.19%) patients had sarcoidosis on HRCT. Out of 50 patients, P-pulmonale was present in 22(50%) patients, RAD in 21 (47.37%) and RVH in 21 (47.73%) patients in the PH group in ECG. Conclusion: There was very high prevalence of PAH among ILD Patients. CXR findings like reticular shadow, reduced lung volume and right pulmonary artery prominence, HRCT findings like UIP pattern, NSIP pattern, CPFE and sarcoidosis and ECG findings like P-pulmonale, RAD and RVH were more in Pulmonary artery hypertension patients. But there was no statistically difference among various Radiological and Electrocardiogram (ECG) findings.
