To calculate the Average Blood Pressure:
\[ ABP = \frac{(2 \times DBP) + SBP}{3} \]
Where:
The Average Blood Pressure (ABP) is a measure that combines the diastolic and systolic blood pressures to give a single value representing the average pressure in the arteries during one cardiac cycle. This is useful for assessing overall cardiovascular health.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Multiply the diastolic blood pressure by 2:
\[ 2 \times 80 = 160 \]
Step 2: Add the systolic blood pressure:
\[ 160 + 120 = 280 \]
Step 3: Divide the result by 3:
\[ \frac{280}{3} = 93.33 \text{ mmHg} \]
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Multiply the diastolic blood pressure by 2:
\[ 2 \times 85 = 170 \]
Step 2: Add the systolic blood pressure:
\[ 170 + 130 = 300 \]
Step 3: Divide the result by 3:
\[ \frac{300}{3} = 100 \text{ mmHg} \]
