Samantha is a 63-year-old female who has just been diagnosed with hypertension. Her physician informs her that her average blood pressure is influenced by various bodily processes, such as heart function, nervous system activity, and blood vessel diameter. Assuming an average cardiac output (CO) of 4L/min, Samantha’s mean arterial pressure (MAP) is recorded at 140mmHg during her examination.

What is Samantha’s systemic vascular resistance (SVR) based on these measurements?
