This authoritative and comprehensive 1996 publication looks in
depth at a range of medical syndromes characterised by serious and
unpredicted internal overheating of the body. These episodes may
arise suddenly and unexpectedly in certain individuals, with
life-threatening consequences, either as a result of heat stress,
exceptional physical exertion or in response to certain common
anaesthetics and some drugs, including ecstasy. The chapters focus
on the full range of these syndromes, their metabolic and
physiological basis, the important pre-disposing factors for the
prediction of those at risk, and the medical management of these
conditions. The volume includes important contributions from
authors of international repute and incorporates a wealth of
information from the Leeds malignant hyperthermia investigation
unit. This compilation will be of interest to those wanting to
understand these disorders.
