Question
The mean arterial pressure is:
diastolic pressure plus 1/3 (systolic pressure - diastolic pressure).
systolic pressure divided by diastolic pressure.
systolic pressure minus diastolic pressure.
1/2 (systolic pressure + diastolic pressure).
the same as venous pressure.
diastolic pressure plus 1/3 (systolic pressure - diastolic pressure).
systolic pressure divided by diastolic pressure.
systolic pressure minus diastolic pressure.
1/2 (systolic pressure + diastolic pressure).
the same as venous pressure.
Explanation / Answer
ANSWER : Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is average arterial pressure during a cardiac cycle. In actual it a measure of haemodynamic activity of heart that is necessary for normal functioning of vital organs. Abnormal (low or high ) MAP can cause stroke like conditions.
The mean arterial blood pressure is calculated by the following formula : -
Diastolic pressure plus (Systolic pressure - diastolic pressure) 1/3 .
