Average Blood Pressure Calculator





Formula

To calculate the Average Blood Pressure:

\[ ABP = \frac{(2 \times DBP) + SBP}{3} \]

What is Average Blood Pressure?

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.

Example Calculation 1

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:

\[ \frac{280}{3} = 93.33 \text{ mmHg} \]

Example Calculation 2

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:

\[ \frac{300}{3} = 100 \text{ mmHg} \]
