Histomorphologic examination does not differentiate MH susceptibility; leaves open its role in detecting unrecognized myopathies.
Does histomorphologic examination of skeletal muscle differentiate between malignant hyperthermia-susceptible and normal patients?

Breunig et al. (2004) studied this question.
