"Blood pressure is traditionally measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg), although mercury-containing sphygmomanometers have all but disappeared from most modern hospitals. However, it is increasingly common to see values also expressed in the derived SI unit, kilopascals (kPa). 1 mmHg equates to 0.133 kPa 2."
"Systolic blood pressure is the maximal pressure in the main circulation during systole as the heart contracts. The diastolic blood pressure is the minimal pressure reached during diastole, just before the next systole. Pulse pressure is the difference between the systolic and diastolic pressures."
