Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is a useful measure in medicine that represents the average blood pressure in a person's arteries during one cardiac cycle. It is an important indicator of perfusion—the ability of blood to flow to organs and tissues—since it provides a more accurate reflection of blood flow than systolic blood pressure alone, especially in conditions where blood pressure can fluctuate significantly.
