When a person's blood pressure is taken with a device known as a sphygmomanometer, it is measured

Question:

When a person's blood pressure is taken with a device known as a sphygmomanometer, it is measured on the arm, at approximately the same level as the heart. If the measurement were to be taken on a standing patient's leg instead, would the reading on the sphygmomanometer be greater than, less than, or the same as when the measurement is made on the arm?
