It's not worth starting a thread for this: am I the only one bothered by the notation 120/80 mm Hg? Why not 120/80 mm Hg/mm Hg? Or 120 mm Hg / 80 mm Hg?

According to virtually every cardiologic society, it's worse when its above 140 mmHg sys or 90 mmHg dia. The ratio you talk about is useless and only reflects the vessel compliance and resistance integrated in the wind kessel effect; it is nog illogical that the ratio differs with age, given the change in vessel compliance when ageing.
