Abstract
A 55-year-old man presented for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Malignant hyperthermia (MH) was suspected in his family. This case report describes a diagnostic approach to obtain a definite MH diagnosis by performing an in vitro contracture test at the time of CABG surgery in combination with molecular genetic investigations.
