TI  - Perioperative immunoglobulin E response to coronary artery bypass grafting.
PG  - 28-32
AB  - Serial estimation of total immunoglobulin E (IgE) concentration in 30 consecutive 
      male patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting revealed three 
      patterns--a low, middle and high response--during the perioperative period. The 
      mean IgE level was higher in patients with higher mean preoperative left 
      ventricular ejection fractions and these patients had a higher left ventricular 
      stroke work index. However, there was no correlation with the severity of 
      coronary artery disease or with degree of adequacy of revascularisation. Mean IgE 
      level correlated moderately well with the mean right ventricular stroke work 
      index and mean pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and minimally with the triple 
      index. A higher level of IgE was usually observed with better cardiac performance 
      and may be associated with factors related to the pulmonary circulation. However 
      we could neither confirm nor refute whether an elevated level of IgE indicated an 
      increased risk of cardiovascular events or a "protected status" against the 
      complications of necrotising ischemia.
