What is the mean arterial pressure? The mean arterial pressure (MAP) is defined as an approximation of a time-weighted average of blood pressure values in large system arteries during the cardiac cycle. It is directly related to the cardiac output. To calculate the MAP, you need two values - you systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
High blood pressure in the arteries that supply the lungs is called pulmonary hypertension (PH) or pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The blood pressure measured by a cuff on your arm isn't directly related to the pressure in your lungs.
