Muscle fiber conduction velocity in situ in hypokalemic periodic paralyses.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To clarify the diagnostic yield of conduction velocity along muscle fibers in situ (MFCV) in hypokalemic periodic paralyses (HOPPs). MATERIAL AND METHODS: MFCV of the short head of biceps brachii was performed in 3 subjects with primary HOPP and in another 3 with secondary HOPP. RESULTS: MFCV was reduced during the recovery period in 2 of the patients with hereditary HOPP and in 3 with secondary...
