Abstract
Caffeine contracture of skinned muscle fiber was analyzed in subjects who had recovered from malignant hyperthermia (MH) and in patients with other neuromuscular diseases. In several muscle specimens, the calcium-induced (Ca-induced) Ca release (CICR) was also studied and compared to the caffeine contracture. The caffeine contracture test was very sensitive in detecting abnormalities, but it seemed less specific for diagnosis of true MH.
