Summary:The calcium and magnesium contents of muscle obtained by muscle hiopsy 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.
