An intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) is a machine that is used to increase the flow of oxygen-rich blood out of the heart. It lessens the workload of the actual heart muscles, sometimes producing up to 20% of its labor.

When it comes to physical therapy, an IABP is often used after major heart failures or surgeries in order to help with several different things, such as improving blood circulation from the heart, lowering one's heart rate, decreasing the heart's workload, improving the heart's efficiency, and relieving pressure from the aorta (part of heart that sends blood to rest of body).
