Intraaortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP) timing errors during arrhythmia may result in afterload increases which may negatively influence left ventricular (LV) ejection and LV mechanical dyssynchrony. The aim of our study was to determine beat-to-beat effects of properly timed IABP, premature IAB...
