Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To analyse the use of standardized application of ryanodine for in vitro muscle contracture testing to define cut-off values separating malignant hyperthermia susceptible from malignant hyperthermia negative subjects. Furthermore, we compared the results of in vitro muscle-contracture tests following the halothane, caffeine and ryanodine challenges. METHODS: In 113 subjects, halothane,...
