Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) Calculator

What is Mean Arterial Pressure?

Mean arterial pressure, or MAP, is the average arterial pressure during one full cardiac cycle.

How to Calculate MAP

There are two formulas commonly used to calculate mean arterial pressure.

1. MAP = DP + 1 / 3(SP - DP)
2. MAP = DP + 1 / 3(PP)

Where DP stands for diastolic pressure, SP stands for systolic pressure, and PP stands for pulse pressure.

Understanding Your Results

To be clear, here at Totu we are not providing any medical advice and should not be relied upon for anything medical-related. We provide a tool for an informed individual to use however they see fit.

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.

1. Enter the systolic blood pressure (hhMg)
2. Enter the diastolic blood pressure (hhMg)
3. 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.
