MathLiveMean arterial pressure
Estimates the average arterial blood pressure over one cardiac cycle from the diastolic and systolic pressures, weighting diastole twice as heavily because it lasts about twice as long as systole. It is used in clinical monitoring to judge organ perfusion.
MAP \simeq \frac{2}{3}\,DP + \frac{1}{3}\,SPWhat the symbols mean
| mean arterial pressure (mmHg) | |
| diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) | |
| systolic blood pressure (mmHg) |
