MAP mmHg
Compute mean arterial pressure from systolic and diastolic pressure.
Description
Compute mean arterial pressure from systolic and diastolic pressure.
MAP mmHg is a focused biology tool that compute mean arterial pressure from systolic and diastolic pressure. It calculates locally from the values you enter and exposes the result without changing the source observations.1
When to use MAP mmHg
Use MAP mmHg when you need to compute mean arterial pressure from systolic and diastolic pressure. Enter Systolic pressure and Diastolic pressure using the definitions and units below so the result can be reproduced.
- Systolic pressure
- A finite measured or assumed value, expressed in mmHg.
- Diastolic pressure
- A finite measured or assumed value, expressed in mmHg.
How MAP mmHg calculates the result
The published tool contract uses this rule: Compute mean arterial pressure from systolic and diastolic pressure.
- Mean arterial pressure
- The calculated mean arterial pressure in mmHg.
Limitations of MAP mmHg
The calculation does not propagate measurement uncertainty, sampling error, or biological and chemical variability.
Alternative or Complementary measurements
Retain the original Systolic pressure and Diastolic pressure values and their units alongside the result. Pulse Pressure is useful when you instead need to compute pulse pressure as systolic minus diastolic pressure. RPP provides another view by helping you compute the rate pressure product from heart rate and systolic pressure.
