Summary Introduction

To determine:

The value of mean arterial pressure (MAP) as if Mike’s blood pressure is 125/70 mm Hg.

Introduction:

The difference between the systolic and diastolic pressure value in the heart is called as the mean arterial pressure (MAP). The formula for calculating the mean arterial pressure is:

$\text{Mean Arterial Pressure }\left(\text{MAP}\right)\text{ = Diastolic Pressure +}\frac{\text{Pulse Pressure}}{\text{3}}$
