The inflation marker shows the period of inflation. Vertical timing marks located below the arterial
waveform are also available to aid with initial timing. The timing markers indicate the point at which
the inflate and deflate commands are sent.
A unique automatic timing algorithm allows effective balloon pumping even during atrial fibrillation.
Press the Inflation Interval key to observe the period of inflation while pumping. Vertical markers
located below the arterial waveform and the highlighted portion indicate the period of balloon inflation.

Early Inflation
Inflation of the IAB prior to aortic
valve closure
Waveform Characteristics
• Inflation of IAB prior to dicrotic notch
• Diastolic augmentation encroaches onto
systole (may be unable to distinguish)
Physiologic Effects:
• Potential premature closure of aortic valve
• Potential increase in LVEDV and LVEDP or PCWP
• Increased left ventricular wall stress or afterload
• Aortic Regurgitation
• Increased MVO2 demand
Late Inflation
Inflation of the IAB markedly after closure
of the aortic valve
Waveform Characteristics:
Characteristics:
• Inflation of the IAB after the dicrotic notch
• Absence of sharp V
• Sub-optimal diastolic augmentation
Physiologic Effects:
• Sub-optimal coronary artery perfusion
23
Early Deflation
Premature deflation of the IAB during the diastolic phase
Waveform Characteristics
Chara cteristics
• Deflation of IAB is seen as a sharp drop
following diastolic augmentation
• Sub-optimal diastolic augmentation
• Assisted aortic end diastolic pressure may be equal
to or less than the unassisted aortic end diastolic pressure
• Assisted systolic pressure may rise
Physiologic Effects:
• Sub-optimal coronary perfusion
• Potential for retrograde coronary and carotid blood flow
• Angina may occur as a result of retrograde coronary blood flow
• Sub-optimal afterload reduction
• Increased MVO2 demand
Late Deflation
Deflation
Waveform Characteristics:
• Assisted aortic end-diastolic pressure may be equal to
the unassisted aortic end diastolic pressure
• Rate of rise of assisted systole is prolonged
• Diastolic augmentation may appear widened
Physiologic Effects:
• Afterload reduction is essentially absent
• Increased MVO2 consumption due to the left ventricle
ejecting against a greater resistance and a
prolonged isovolumetric contraction phase
• IAB may impede left ventricular ejection and
increase the afterload
