Blood pressure
Mean arterial pressure

Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is the average of blood pressure over a cardiac cycle and is determined by the cardiac output (CO), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), and central venous pressure (CVP):

In practice, the contribution of CVP (which is small) is generally ignored and so

MAP is often estimated from measurements of the systolic pressure, P sys {\displaystyle \!P_{\text{sys}}} and the diastolic pressure, P dias {\displaystyle \!P_{\text{dias}}} using the equation:

MAP ≊ P dias + k (P sys − P dias) {\displaystyle \!{\text{MAP}}\approxeq P_{\text{dias}}+k(P_{\text{sys}}-P_{\text{dias}})}

where k = 0.333 although other values for k have been advocated.
