Calcium and magnesium contents of malignant hyperpyrexia-susceptible human muscle
British Journal of Anaesthesia
|October 1, 1977
Abstract:
The calcium and magnesium contents of muscle obtained by muscle biopsy of patients referred for malignant hyperpyrexia screening were determined. The susceptibility to malignant hyperpyrexia was made on the basis of the halothane contracture test. No difference in cation concentrations was found between the normal and malignant hyperpyrexia-susceptible groups.
