Rate-Pressure Product (Double Product)

Rate-pressure product = heart rate (bpm) x systolic BP (mmHg); a surrogate for myocardial oxygen demand.

Open the calculator → Runs in your browser. Data leaves only if you deliberately send a problem report from the interactive tool.

Example

Heart rate
80 bpm
Systolic BP
140 mmHg

Result: Rate-pressure product 11200 — myocardial oxygen demand surrogate.

The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

What the result means

HR x SBP
Myocardial oxygen-demand surrogate. Resting typically < 10000; peak-exercise > 20000 reflects good reserve, < 16000 impaired. A physiologic value, not a diagnosis.
