Blood Pressure
A Blood Pressure item is one reading: your systolic and diastolic pressure, and usually your pulse. Where your monitor reports that it detected an irregular heartbeat during the reading, that is kept too.

What we calculate from each measurement
Two figures are calculated from every reading rather than measured:
- Pulse pressure is the difference between your systolic and diastolic pressure. A reading of 120 over 80 has a pulse pressure of 40.
- Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is explained below.
What does MAP mean?
MAP is an acronym for mean arterial pressure and a calculation based on your Blood Pressure reading for the arteries’ average blood pressure. Your heart spends more of each beat resting than pumping, so the average sits closer to your diastolic pressure: we count the diastolic twice and the systolic once, and divide by three. A reading of 120 over 80 has a MAP of about 93.
You can experiment with our calculator on our Health and Fitness calculators section.
The Blood Pressure report
The Blood Pressure Report charts your systolic and diastolic pressure, your pulse pressure, your mean arterial pressure, your pulse and how many readings you took. The charts are shaded into the standard categories, which follow the 2017 American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association guideline; see Reference Bands.
Your latest reading is also in the Health Report, on your Stream and your Calendar, and you can set a goal for it.
Taking your readings to a visit
The For a visit option on the Blood Pressure Report opens FitnessSyncer Print over the same dates, with a short summary above the table for your doctor. If you started a medication during the period, Print can show your average before and after it.
Comparing readings
Two readings side by side do not tell you much on their own, so FitnessSyncer Compare adds the context: where each reading sits in your own last 90 days, whether the difference is larger than your blood pressure normally varies, whether they were taken at very different times of day, and the exercise and food around each one.
Asking your AI assistant
With the FitnessSyncer MCP Server, an AI assistant can summarize your readings with their averages and categories, tell you whether your blood pressure is trending up or down, suggest questions to take to your doctor, tell you whether it changed after you started a medication, and record a reading for you. See the sample prompts for ideas.
The categories describe a reading; they do not diagnose one. Nothing here is medical advice, and a reading that concerns you is a conversation for your doctor.
