MH was first formally described in 1960 by physicians in Australia, including an anesthesiologist and a geneticist (Michael Denborough). In recent years there has been greater and greater interest in MH by the medical community in general as well as basic scientists. The reasons for this are many, including the recognition that certain disorders of muscle predispose patients to MH, the concern that some MH patients may have muscle related problems without anesthesia, but one of the most important reasons is the growing interest in the subject of pharmacogenetics.
