MAP= 95 Title: With a systolic pressure of 135 mm Hg and a diastolic pressure of 75 mm Hg, mean arterial pressure would be ? Post by: lei on Mar 25, 2013 The equations given above are right. The way I like to calculate it (mathematically the same as the others) is the following.
Take the pulse pressure (systolic - diastolic) and divide by 3. Add that number to diastolic and you get the MAP. So, with your example, 135-75 = 60. 60/3 = 20 20 + 75 (your diastolic) = 95 Keep in mind that all these calculations are only rough estimates, and may change depending on the heart rate, etc. |
