mmHg
Blood pressure measure
MmHg stands for millimeters of mercury, a unit of pressure measurement.
It represents the pressure exerted by a column of mercury one millimeter high.
The unit persists in medicine for blood pressure readings—Her blood pressure was 120 over 80 mmHg—and in meteorology, though most scientific contexts now use pascals.
