What is the normal range for diastolic blood pressure?
What is the normal range for diastolic blood pressure?
- 50 - 80 mmHg
- 60 - 90 mmHg (correct)
- 80 - 110 mmHg
- 70 - 100 mmHg
How is mean arterial pressure (MAP) calculated?
How is mean arterial pressure (MAP) calculated?
- (Systolic BP + Diastolic BP) / 2
- 2(Systolic BP) + Diastolic BP / 3
- Systolic BP + 2(Diastolic BP) / 3
- Systolic BP + Diastolic BP + Diastolic BP / 3 (correct)

Study Notes
Arterial Blood Pressure (ABP)
- Systolic blood pressure (SBP) is the highest pressure in the aorta and other large arteries during systole.
- The normal range for systolic blood pressure is 90-140 mmHg, with an average of 120 mmHg.
- Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) is the lowest pressure in the aorta and other large arteries during diastole.
- The normal range for diastolic blood pressure is 60-90 mmHg, with an average of 80 mmHg.
- Pulse pressure (PP) is the difference between systolic and diastolic pressures.
- The average pulse pressure is 30-50 mmHg.
- Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is calculated as SBP + DBP + DBP / 3.
- The average MAP is 90-100 mmHg.
- MAP is closer to diastolic pressure because diastole duration (0.5 seconds) is nearly twice systole duration (0.3 seconds).
