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).
