A member asked:
If a patient has a blood pressure of 120/80 (systolic/diastolic), then what is their arterial pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mean arterialpressur: Map = sbp * 0.33 + dbp* 0.67 approximately since 2/3 of time is in diastole but this changes as we age and the heart becomes "stiffer" meaning less time is spent disstole.
