Abstract excerpt
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is caused by increased calcium release from sarcoplasmic reticulum, triggered by volatile anesthetics or depolarizing muscle relaxants. Numerous mutations associated with MH have been detected in the skeletal muscle type ryanodine receptor gene (RyR1), but so far facilitated calcium release has only been demonstrated for a few of them. This is a prerequisite for confirming the...
