Waveform
Late Deflation 1
  • Deflation of the IAB after the onset of systole
  • Increased myocardial oxygen consumption
  • Prolonged isovolumetric contraction phase
  • Increased afterload
  • Reduction in cardiac output
  • Diastolic augmentation may appear widened
  • Assisted aortic end-diastolic pressure increased and may equal unassisted pressure
  • Rate of systolic pressure rise is prolonged
