Average blood pressure in an individual during a single cardiac cycle
Not to be confused with mean airway pressure.
Mean arterial pressure
Representation of the arterial pressure waveform over one cardiac cycle. The notch in the curve is associated with closing of the aortic valve.
MeSH

In medicine, the mean arterial pressure (MAP) is an average calculated blood pressure in an individual during a single cardiac cycle.[1] Although methods of estimating MAP vary, a common calculation is to take one-third of the pulse pressure (the difference between the systolic and diastolic pressures), and add that amount to the diastolic pressure.[2][3] A normal MAP is about 90 mmHg.[4]
MAP is altered by cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance.[5] It is used clinically to estimate the risk of cardiovascular diseases, where a MAP of 90 mmHg or less is low risk, and a MAP of greater than 96 mmHg represents "stage one hypertension" with increased risk.[3][4]
