Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) is the mean of pressure you would obtain if you took measurements in several intervals during the cardiac cycle.
Ex. systolic pressure + 2x Diastolic pressure/3
120/80= 120 + 2(80)/3= 93mmHG ( approximately)
The first number would be your systolic, meaning the pressure in the vessels as the heart contracts, then the next number would be t he diastolic, when the heart is at rest. The average blood pressure is around 120 over 90.
A good arterial pressure for a healthy, young woman would range from 110 to 120 mmHg of systolic pressure, over 70 to 80 mmHg of diastolic pressure.
This is because the lengths of systole and diastole are different. Usually in a resting individual having his or her blood pressure taken, the amount of time spent in diastole is longer than the amount of time spent in systole. The length of time the heart is in diastole is approximately twice as long as it is in systole. Systole only occurs when the heart is actively contracting, the rest of the time is diastole. So mean arterial pressure is usually closer to one's diastolic pressure than systolic. As one's heart-rate increases and the length of diastole shortens, the mean arterial pressure is much closer to just the average of systolic blood pressure and diastolic pressure.
The standard blood pressure for an average adult is 120/80. 120 being the systolic number and 80 being the diastolic.
The average Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) in adults is typically around 70-110 mmHg. MAP is calculated by adding one third of the pulse pressure to the diastolic blood pressure. It represents the average pressure in the arteries during one cardiac cycle.
MABF stands for Mean Arterial Blood Flow. It is a measure of the average pressure in a patient's arteries during a single cardiac cycle. Mean arterial blood flow is calculated by adding one-third of the systolic blood pressure to two-thirds of the diastolic blood pressure. It is an important parameter in assessing cardiovascular function and tissue perfusion.
120 (sys) 80 (diastolic) is the classic answer for highest normal blood pressure in adults. For adults, healthy blood pressure targets depend on health history, with lower targets for adults with certain conditions. Children's blood pressure norms are based on age and height percentile.
120mmHg systolic and 80mmHg diastolic, also written as 120/80 mmHg, spoken as "one twenty over eighty".
There are two values. The first should be about 120; the second should be about 80. Don't worry unless you are at least 20 different from those values (100/60 or 140/100). And even then don't worry, but visit a doctor for a checkup. Systolic/Diastolic pressure should be about 120/80.
Diastolic refers to the moment when the heart muscle is relaxed between contractions. Diastolic blood pressure is the pressure at that moment - the lower of the two blood pressure numbers. (e.g. if the blood pressure is 120/80, the diastolic pressure is 80.) it is the bottom number of a blood pressure reading. it measures the force of blood in the chambers of the heart: the atria and ventricles.
A good blood pressure reading for the average person is Less than 120 for the systolic (top) number and less than 80 for the diastolic (bottom) number). Blood pressures between 140-150 systolic and 90-99 diastolic are considered to be Stage 1 high blood pressure. A systolic reading of 160 or higher and a diastolic of 100 or higher is considered to be Stage 2 High Blood Pressure. Higher numbers than those are considered to be a crisis and can be life threatening.
A normal diastolic blood pressure is generally considered to be less than 80 mmHg. Diastolic blood pressure measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart is at rest between beats. High diastolic blood pressure can be a sign of underlying health issues, such as hypertension.
