Abstract
Ventricular arrhythmias are associated with a high risk of sudden cardiac death. Thus, a sense of urgency attends the issue of identifying and treating susceptible patients in advance of the catastrophic event. Expeditious selection of the most appropriate and least toxic drugs for each patient at risk can be accomplished in more than 80% of cases with an inexpensive noninvasive approach.
