From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The mean arterial pressure (MAP) is a term used in medicine to describe an average blood pressure in an individual. It is defined as the average arterial pressure during a single cardiac cycle.

The pressure in the arteries fluctuates with each beat, but the average pressure does not drop much because the diameter of arteries is so large they offer little resistance to flow.
