Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) is a vital indicator of cardiovascular health, representing the average pressure in a person’s arteries during a single heartbeat. Unlike traditional blood pressure readings that provide systolic and diastolic values separately, MAP offers a comprehensive snapshot that helps assess whether organs are receiving sufficient blood flow.

This calculator lets you quickly and accurately compute your MAP using your systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings. This tool is especially useful for healthcare professionals, caregivers, and individuals monitoring heart health.

How to Use the MAP Calculator

1. Enter your systolic blood pressure (the top number from your BP reading) in mmHg.
2. Enter your diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) in mmHg.
3. Click the Calculate MAP button below to see your result instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a normal MAP value?

Typically, a normal MAP ranges between 70 and 100 mmHg. Values below 60 mmHg can indicate inadequate blood flow, which might require medical attention.

Why is MAP important?

MAP gives a better overall picture of blood flow and organ perfusion than systolic or diastolic readings alone. It helps doctors assess cardiovascular health and guide treatment.

Can I use this calculator at home?

Yes, as long as you have a reliable blood pressure monitor, this calculator helps you interpret your readings quickly and easily.
