Malignant Hyperthermia Medications

Definition of Malignant Hyperthermia: Malignant hyperthermia is a group of inherited muscle problems characterized by muscle breakdown following certain stimuli -- such as anesthesia, extremes of exercise (particularly in hot conditions), fever, or use of stimulant drugs.
