What Is the Mean Arterial Pressure?
The English abbreviation is MAP (mean arterial pressure). The average value of arterial blood pressure during a cardiac cycle is called the mean arterial pressure. The normal arterial pressure of normal adults is 70 ~ 105mmHg. The calculation formula is as follows: mean arterial pressure = (systolic pressure + 2 x diastolic pressure) / 3. It can also be expressed as: mean arterial pressure = diastolic pressure + 1/3 pulse pressure difference.

- English abbreviation is MAP (mean arterial pressure) during a cardiac cycle
- Mean arterial pressure = (systolic blood pressure + 2 × diastolic blood pressure) / 3. It can also be expressed as: mean arterial pressure = diastolic pressure + 1/3 pulse pressure difference.
- Note: Mean arterial pressure = diastolic pressure + 1/3 pulse pressure difference
- = 1/3 (3x diastolic pressure + pulse pressure difference)
- = 1/3 (3x diastolic blood pressure + systolic blood pressure-diastolic blood pressure)
