Note In situations where you cannot position the cuff level with
the heart, you should adjust the measurements as follows
for greater accuracy. For each inch (2.54 cm) that the cuff is
above the level of the heart, add 1.8 mmHg to the displayed
reading. For each inch (2.54 cm) that the cuff is below the
level of the heart, subtract 1.8 mmHg from the displayed
reading. It is important to document the adjustment on the
