“…M alignant hyperthermia (MH) is a potentially fatal, pharmacogenetic disorder that can be triggered by depolarizing muscle relaxants or halogenated anesthetics (1). Following exposure to one of these triggers, MH-susceptible individuals enter a hypermetabolic crisis characterized by tachycardia, muscle rigidity, rhabdomyolysis, increased oxidative/nitrosative stress, mitochondrial damage, acidosis, hypercapnia, and renal failure leading ultimately to death.…”

“…3 is a pharmacogenetic, life-threatening syndrome triggered in susceptible individuals by volatile general anesthetics, depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents, and heat stress (2). An MH episode is characterized by increased expired CO 2 , rapid onset of metabolic acidosis, elevated core temperature, and sustained muscle contraction.…”

“…Human malignant hyperthermia (MH)-susceptible patients remain subclinical until challenged with one or more pharmacological triggering agents, including halogenated volatile anesthetics and depolarizing neuromuscular blockers (Zhou et al, 2010). A fulminant MH episode during the perioperative period is often lethal if not promptly treated with dantrolene.…”

“…When a familial history of MH is suspected (Lehmann-Horn et al, 2008), MH susceptibility (MHS) is typically diagnosed with an in vitro contracture test. Although in vitro contracture test testing is a good prognosticator of MH, fatal cases continue to occur annually in the United States and throughout the world (Zhou et al, 2010). MHS is an inherited autosomal dominant muscle disorder with a heterogeneous etiology.…”
