[Telephone enquiries on the topic of malignant hyperthermia : Evaluation of the content and subsequent diagnostic results at the MH Center Leipzig].

CONCLUSION: Private individuals and families affected by a MH disposition often showed good compliance with respect to counseling and diagnostics for MH and contacted the MH center more often than medical doctors. A more comprehensive cooperation with the medical profession is preferable and necessary to obtain a systematic and broad synopsis of characteristic and uncharacteristic signs and symptoms of MH. The telephone conversations analyzed as well as the diagnostic results (IVCT and genetic testing) underline that MH disposition is still a current and relevant topic.
