Mean Arterial Pressure Calculator

How to Use the Calculator

1. Enter the systolic blood pressure in the first input field.
2. Enter the diastolic blood pressure in the second input field.
3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the mean arterial pressure.
4. The result will be displayed in the result section.

Understanding Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)

Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) is an average blood pressure during one cardiac cycle. It is a better measure of organ perfusion than either systolic or diastolic pressure alone. The formula to calculate MAP is:

MAP = (Systolic BP + 2 * Diastolic BP) / 3

This formula weights the diastolic pressure twice as much as the systolic pressure because the blood pressure is closer to diastolic pressure during most of the cardiac cycle.
