Abstract excerpt
Malignant hyperthermia (MH), an inherited neuromuscular disease triggered by halogenated inhalational anaesthetics and skeletal-muscle relaxants, appears to be due to an alteration of intracellular Ca2+ homoeostasis. MH occurs in 1 out of 20,000 anaesthetized adults and is characterized by hypermetabolism, skeletal-muscle rigidity and elevation in body temperature, which is frequently fatal [MacLennan and...
