1. An apparatus that facilitates the determination of a hydrostatic correction factor usable in an extremity blood pressure ratio examination of a patient in a non-supine position, wherein a first blood pressure measuring device is positionable to measure a blood pressure present in a first extremity of the patient and a second blood pressure measuring device is positionable to measure a blood pressure present in a second extremity of the patient, one of the blood pressure measuring devices being located above the other blood pressure measuring device, the apparatus comprising:

  • a computational device; and

    an input element coupled to the computational device, wherein information relating to a vertical distance between the first and second blood pressure measuring devices is receivable by the input element;

    the computational device being operable to calculate at least one of a hydrostatic correction factor, a corrected extremity blood pressure, and an extremity blood pressure ratio using the information relating to the vertical distance.
