Intraaortic balloon counterpulsation has been shown to reduce the immediate mortality due to acute myocardial infarction in dogs. Previous studies have emphasized the importance of the absolute or relative increases in coronary blood flow that result from augmentation of diastolic aortic pressure. This study was designed to clarify the role of the decreased systolic pressure characteristic of counterpulsation in increasing the cardiac output.Eleven dogs were studied without intervention except for counterpulsation. A decrease in peak left ventricular pressure from 138 ± 7 to 116 ± 6 mmHg(P< 0.01) was paralleled by an increase in mean diastolic aortic pressure from 111 ± 5 to 124 ± 4 mmHg. As a result of the decreased impedance to ejection, peak aortic flow, stroke volume and cardiac output increased by 15 percent. In 6 dogs studied after acute myocardial infarction secondary to ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery, there were parallel but less marked changes in the hemodynamic measurements.The external performance of the ventricle when evaluated in terms of peak flow, stroke volume and output was an inverse function of the impedance to ejection. Since effective assistance to the failing heart must result in increased external performance, the importance of adequate reduction of systolic impedance must not be underestimated.
