Fig. 2

In each subplot, mean normalized arterial pressures are shown with a blue line, and the gray shaded area represents the standard deviation of the same pressures. The top subplot shows the effect of calcium on the mean aortic pressure. The middle subplot shows the effect of calcium of the systolic aortic pressure. The bottom subplot shows the effect of calcium on the diastolic aortic pressure. A calcium bolus results in a sigmoidal increase in arterial pressures. Time 0 is the midpoint of the pressor effect as determined by computer script. The pressures have been normalized by the subtraction of the pressure measured at time 0
