Title: Why is diastolic blood pressure (DBP) a larger component of MAP than systolic blood pressure (SBP)? Post by: ashleyarielg on Apr 10, 2017 Mean arterial pressure is equal to diastolic pressure plus one-third of the pulse pressure. An equivalent equation is MAP = 2/3 DBP + 1/3 SBP. Why is diastolic blood pressure (DBP) a larger component of MAP than systolic blood pressure (SBP)?
