How to use the mean arterial pressure calculator
Find mean arterial pressure and pulse pressure. Enter systolic, diastolic in the fields above; the mean arterial pressure, pulse pressure are computed instantly and plotted on the chart so you can see how the answer changes.
Formula
Variables
- s — Systolic (mmHg)
- d — Diastolic (mmHg)
Worked example
With systolic = 120 mmHg, diastolic = 80 mmHg, the calculator gives mean arterial pressure ≈ 93.33333 mmHg; pulse pressure ≈ 40 mmHg.
Frequently asked questions
What is the formula for the mean arterial pressure calculation?
Mean arterial pressure (mmHg) = d+(s-d) / 3. Pulse pressure (mmHg) = s-d. Here s is systolic (mmHg), d is diastolic (mmHg).
What inputs do I need for the mean arterial pressure calculator?
You need systolic in mmHg, diastolic in mmHg. Each field is pre-filled with a typical example so you can see how the result responds as you edit the numbers.
How do I use this calculator?
Type values into the input fields. Results and the chart update instantly. Use Reset to restore the example values, Copy results to paste them elsewhere, or Share to copy a link that preserves your inputs.
Is the result exact?
Calculations use standard formulas and double-precision arithmetic, then display about seven significant figures. Real-world measurements carry uncertainty, so treat results as estimates unless your inputs are exact.
