What would be the pulse pressure and mean arterial pressure

What would be the pulse pressure and mean arterial pressure for a hypertensive person with a systolic pressure of 145 mmHg and a diastolic pressure of 98 mmHg?

Solution

Answer:

Pulse pressure = systolic pressure – diastolic pressure

= 145-98 = 47mmHg

Mean arterial pressure= Diastolic pressure + (1/3 * pulse pressure)

= 98 + (1/3* 47) = 113.7mmHg
