Figure 2: Course of systolic blood pressure for hypertensive patients with and without diastolic dysfunction during the phase of induction of anesthesia Grey boxes = hypertensive patients with diastolic dysfunction; white boxes = hypertensive patients without diastolic dysfunction; CONS = day of anesthetic consultation; BL-GA = baseline before general anesthesia; POST-IND = just before tracheal intubation; POST-INT = just after tracheal intubation. Data are presented as median, 10th, 25th, 75th, and 90th percentiles. Arrows displayed significant difference within group between different events.
