Mean arterial pressure (MAP)
Systolic BP
:
mm Hg |
Diastolic BP
:
mm Hg
Equation
: MAP = [(2 x diastolic)+systolic] / 3
Diastole counts twice as much as systole because 2/3 of the cardiac cycle is spent in diastole. An MAP of about 60 is necessary to perfuse coronary arteries, brain, kidneys.
Usual range: 70-110
