We thank Sandal et al. for taking an interest in our paper1 and the intriguing question on the determinants of mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) in mammals. Sandal et al. 2 present a correlation between MAP and the vertical distance between the heart and the brain in 16 different species of (predominantly large) mammals.
