The nosologic distinction between paramyotonia congenita and hyperkalemic periodic paralysis is somewhat blurred. Muscle membrane inexcitability induced by cooling seems to be characteristic of paramyotonia congenita. The effect of cooling on the maximal compound muscle action potential (CMAP) in pa
Electrophysiological studies on muscle fibres from patients with hyperkalemic periodic paralysis with myotonia have shown that the episodes of weakness are caused by a sustained depolarization of the sarcolemma to potentials between -40 and -60 mV. In muscle fibre segments from three such patients t
