Exertional heat stroke, rhabdomyolysis and susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia

Abstract: Unexpectedly severe exertional heat stroke and rhabdomyolysis should prompt a clinician to look for susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia. We report a case of exertional heat stroke and rhabdomyolysis in a man later determined to have the malignant hyperthermia phenotype. We review the existing literature regarding this association and suggest future research that could address areas of remaining clinical uncertainty.

“…In the available muscle biopsies from 15 patients, most showed fiber size variability, increased internalized nuclei, type 1 fiber predominance, and core-like areas on oxidative stains. The link between exertional heat stroke, rhabdomyolysis, and susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia has not been characterized fully 194, 195 .…”

“…Variants in the RyR1 gene have been associated with MH in 50% to 70% of susceptible families 48 . There are reports of rhabdomyolysis and exertional myalgia associated with positive IVCT 49 and RyR1 gene mutations and dihydropyridine receptor mutations 46,[50][51][52][53] and hence, the supposed association of MH with stress. Heatrelated events corresponding to recent findings in animal models of MH susceptibility and, in one family, intercurrent infection 51 , have been associated with RyR1 variants 54 .…”

“…Whether any of the 400þ MHS mutations confer risk to skeletal muscle health with prolonged CP exposure remains a difficult question to address. Although there are numerous documented cases of MHS individuals who experienced nonfatal episodes and spontaneously developed muscle weakness or rhabdomyolysis following exposure to environmental stressor(s) (Dlamini et al, 2013;Thomas and Crowhurst 2013), whether CP, FD, or other insecticide diamides interact with MHS RyR1 channels to lower the threshold for developing chronic myopathies remains unknown.…”
