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.
Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure exerted by circulating blood upon the walls of blood vessel, and is one of the principal vital signs. Arterial hypertension or hypertension or high BP can be an indicator of other problems and may have long-term adverse effects. Sometimes it can be an acute problem, for example hypertensive emergency.
