Malignant hyperthermia
Diagnostic pathway for investigation of MH susceptibility. IVCT, in vitro contracture test; MH, malignant hyperthermia; MHN (MH negative or normal), classification applied when all contracture tests are negative; MHShc, MHSh, and MHSc, classifications are applied when contracture responses to both halothane and caffeine are abnormal, response to halothane alone is abnormal, or response to caffeine alone is abnormal, respectively. *Patients who should be asked to take part in research studies of the genetic basis of malignant hyperthermia
