Abstract: A European Malignant Hyperpyrexia Group has been formed to facilitate exchange of information between centres performing in vitro muscle testing for malignant hyperpyrexia susceptibility. Data have been collected according to a protocol agreed by the Group. Based on these results, test criteria have been established to allow the following diagnoses to be made: MH susceptible (MHS); MH normal (MHN) or MH equivocal (MHE). It is accepted that MHE classified patients will be under permanent review, pending the collection of further data.

In vitro diagnosis of susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia: comparison between dynamic and static halothane and caffeine tests.
H. Ørding,Lene Theil Skovgaard +1 more
TL;DR: In vitro tests for the diagnosis of malignant hyperthermia susceptibility indicate that dynamic tests are not superior to static tests, but several tests should be performed to enhance diagnostic safety.

Malignant hyperthermia susceptibility, an autosomal dominant disorder?
TL;DR: Findings in eight families, where both parents were malignant hyperthemia negative (MHN), while at least one child was either malignantHyperthermia susceptible (MHS) or malignanthyperthermia equivocal (MHE), are focused on.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report three neuroleptic malignant syndrome patients with positive muscle contracture tests which shows that muscle from neuro-alane malignancy patients may in some instances show alterations similar to those of anaesthetic malignant hyperthermia.
