I am not sure I quite follow but this might be what you're after:
| Date Stamp | Systalic | Diastalic | Pulse |
|------------------------+----------+-----------+-------|
| [2011-07-19 Tue 02:26] | 138 | 92 | 74 |
| [2011-07-21 Thu 03:50] | 128 | 79 | 76 |
| [2011-07-20 Wed 04:03] | 130 | 85 | 74 |
| [2011-07-22 Fri 02:33] | 121 | 80 | 79 |

| Averages | 129.25 | | |
#+TBLFM: @7$2=vmean(@2..@-1)
