Example Data Table

Example outputs below assume reference pressure 120/80, weights 0.40, 0.30, 0.30, and standard MAP estimation.

Sample	Systolic	Diastolic	Heart Rate	MAP	BPI	Band
Sample A	118 mmHg	76 mmHg	68 bpm	90.00 mmHg	96.76 %	Reference band
Sample B	132 mmHg	84 mmHg	74 bpm	100.00 mmHg	107.64 %	Reference band
Sample C	145 mmHg	95 mmHg	88 bpm	111.67 mmHg	119.85 %	Elevated load band

Formula Used

1) Pulse Pressure
Pulse Pressure = Systolic − Diastolic

2) Mean Arterial Pressure
MAP = Diastolic + (Systolic − Diastolic) / 3

3) Composite Blood Pressure Index
BPI = {[(Systolic / Reference Systolic) × Ws] + [(Diastolic / Reference Diastolic) × Wd] + [(MAP / Reference MAP) × Wm]} ÷ (Ws + Wd + Wm) × 100

4) Pressure Load
Pressure Load = (MAP / Reference MAP) × 100

5) Shock Index
Shock Index = Heart Rate ÷ Systolic

6) Rate Pressure Product
RPP = Systolic × Heart Rate

7) Measurement Uncertainty
MAP Uncertainty = MAP × Error Percentage

This calculator uses a weighted normalization model so you can tune emphasis toward systolic, diastolic, or MAP behavior.

FAQs

1) What does the blood pressure index represent?

It is a weighted comparison between measured pressure values and a chosen reference condition. The result is expressed as a percentage, making trend checks and comparative analysis easier.

2) Why does the calculator include MAP?

MAP captures average arterial loading during a cardiac cycle. Including it gives a steadier comparison than relying only on systolic and diastolic values.

3) What is the purpose of the weighting factors?

Weights let you emphasize whichever component matters most in your analysis. For example, instrumentation studies may prioritize MAP, while peak-load comparisons may favor systolic pressure.

4) What does shock index add to the analysis?

Shock index links heart rate with systolic pressure. It can highlight changing hemodynamic response patterns, especially when pressure and pulse trends move in different directions.

5) Can I use kPa instead of mmHg?

Yes. The tool accepts either unit and converts internally so formulas remain consistent. Output values are returned in the same pressure unit you selected.

6) Why is measurement error included?

Real sensors and cuff systems contain uncertainty. This field gives a practical uncertainty band for MAP and the final index, which is useful in engineering-style reporting.

7) Is this calculator intended for diagnosis?

No. It is designed for comparative analysis, modeling, and reporting. It should not replace a clinician, validated medical workflow, or emergency assessment.

8) What does the graph show?

The chart compares measured systolic, diastolic, MAP, and pulse pressure against reference values. This makes deviations visible quickly and supports trend interpretation.
