Expert Tip

Normal BP is <120/80 mmHg. Stage 1 hypertension is 130-139 systolic or 80-89 diastolic.

FAQ

How is Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) calculated?
MAP reflects average arterial pressure during a cardiac cycle. It is calculated as DP + 1/3(SP - DP), where DP is diastolic pressure and SP is systolic pressure.
What is the clinical significance of a prolonged QTc interval?
A QTc interval above 450 ms in men or 460 ms in women increases the risk of ventricular arrhythmias, specifically Torsades de Pointes.
Can risk scores replace acute clinical evaluation?
No. Risk calculators like HEART, TIMI, or GRACE assist emergency clinicians, but should never replace clinical judgment or urgent medical intervention in acute coronary syndromes.
