A member asked:
My blood pressure is low, 100/70, but mean arterial pressure is 80. what does this mean? are my organs sufficiently perfused?

It depends: your medical conditions. You may have diabetes, smoking history, and vascular disease. These are all factors that effect how well blood can flow to vital organs such as the brain, kidneys, heart, etc.
