To calculate the Blood Pressure Index (BPI):
\[ BPI = \frac{2 \times DBP + SBP}{3} \]
Where:
A Blood Pressure Index, also known as a Blood Pressure Ratio, is a measure used to evaluate an individual’s blood pressure levels. It is calculated by dividing the systolic pressure (the top number, representing the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats) by the diastolic pressure (the bottom number, representing the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest). This index provides a comprehensive view of a person’s cardiovascular health and can help identify risks of hypertension or other heart-related conditions.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ BPI = \frac{2 \times 80 + 120}{3} = 93.33 \]
The Blood Pressure Index is 93.33.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ BPI = \frac{2 \times 70 + 110}{3} = 83.33 \]
The Blood Pressure Index is 83.33.
