Mean arterial pressure (MAP) measures the flow, resistance, and pressure in your arteries during one heartbeat. We’ll go over what’s considered normal, high, and low before going over the ...

The bottom number is the diastolic pressure, the pressure blood exerts on the arteries between heartbeats (when the heart is at rest). Healthy blood pressures range from 90/60 to 120/80.

The interaction between higher mean blood pressure and higher variability in blood pressure was associated with faster changes in annual deviation in both mean arterial (β, 0.02 dB/y per 1-mm Hg ...

Overall, the researchers assessed 1,729 patients (mean age, 64 years; 43% women; 72% AKI; mean MELD score = 23) with 151,734 MAP observations — a mean of 136 observations per patient in 72 hours.

Pulmonary hypertension is currently defined hemodynamically by a mean pulmonary arterial pressure of higher than 20 mm Hg at rest, as measured by right heart catheterization. 1 Precapillary ...

In a double-blind, randomized trial with a 2-by-2 factorial design, we evaluated a mean arterial blood-pressure target of 63 mm Hg as compared with 77 mm Hg in comatose adults who had been ...

Young people with higher blood pressure performed worse, especially in tasks that measured attention and learning. In addition, arterial stiffness was reflected in weaker working memory.
