Mean arterial pressure, or MAP, is the average arterial pressure during one full cardiac cycle. Simply put, this number is often used to determine if organs are getting enough blood flow to properly function.

How to Calculate MAP

There are two formulas commonly used to calculate mean arterial pressure. The formula that this tool employs is:

Where:

DP = Diastolic pressure

PP = Pulse pressure

With that said, there is a range that most people should fall within. According to sources, the healthy range for MAP is between 70 and 100 mmHg.

How to Use the Mean Arterial Pressure Calculator

Using our tool is very quick and easy.

Enter the systolic blood pressure (hhMg)
Enter the diastolic blood pressure (hhMg)
Hit enter and you will instantly get the MAP value based on your entries!

Calculation Example

You have identified a person to have a systolic blood pressure of 100 hhMg and a diastolic blood pressure of 70 hhMg. You enter their blood pressure levels to their appropriate fields and then hit calculate. The follow calculation ensues: MAP = 70 + 1/3(100 – 70). The result is an MAP of 80 mmHg.

Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) - Frequently Asked Questions

A normal MAP is between 70 and 100 mmHg. If the MAP drops below 60 mmHg, there is a concern there won't be enough pressure to perfuse vital organs including the brain.

The mean arterial pressure is approximately 93 mmHg.

MAP levels greater than 90 mmHg can be dangerous and may lead to serious health issues.
