Abstract
As part of the Journal’s 60 anniversary Diamond Jubilee Celebration, a number of seminal articles from the Journal archives are highlighted in the Journal’s 61 printed volume and online at: www.springer.com/12630. This article, the last in our series, was selected on the basis of its novelty at the time of publication, its scientific merit, and its overall importance to clinical practice: Britt BA, Locher WG, Kalow W. Hereditary aspects of malignant hyperthermia. Can Anaesth Soc J 1969; 16: 89-98. Drs. Sheila Riazi, Kevin Nolan, and Henry Rosenberg provide expert commentary on this report that significantly contributed to our knowledge of what at the time, was a poorly understood anesthesia-related syndrome that lead to many deaths and much fear regarding this condition brought on by exposure to volatile anesthetic gases and depolarizing muscle relaxants.
