What is malignant hyperthermia?
Malignant hyperthermia is a severe reaction to particular drugs that are often used during surgery and other invasive procedures.
Malignant hyperthermia is an autosomal dominant trait, meaning it requires only one parent carrying the disease for a child to inherit the condition. It may be associated with muscular diseases such as multiminicore myopathy and central core disease.
Malignant hyperthermia is an inherited disease that causes a rapid rise in body temperature (fever) and severe muscle contractions when the affected person receives general anesthesia.
Malignant hyperthermia is a rare, inherited (genetic) disorder that is potentially fatal.
