What is the standard unit for measuring blood preassure?

Answer 1

The blood-pressure numbers are in units of mm-Hg. That's the pressure at

the bottom of a column of mercury that's that many millimeters tall.

For a comparison, a typical healthy systolic pressure may be 120. On exactly

the same scale and in the same units, the Earth's atmospheric pressure at

sea level is 760 . If your blood pressure were 760, it wouldn't be for long,

because you would most likely explode.

Answer 2

The standard unit for measuring blood pressure is millimeters of Mercury (mmHg). Blood pressure is typically recorded as two numbers: systolic pressure over diastolic pressure, for example 120/80 mmHg.

Answer 3

It's millimiters of mercury (mmHg). Also blood pressure is given as systolic BP/dystolic BP.

Answer 4

The BP is expressed in systolic pressure over diastolic pressure in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
