Nearly 90% of these cases are caused by malignant ventricular arrhythmias, which develop most frequently on the basement of structural heart disease. Some subpopulations of patients can be marked as a high risk for sudden cardiac death according to the today stratification procedures and can be treated in a pharmacological or nonpharmacological ways. The ways are as follows: a chronic therapy with beta-blockers agents, therapy of congestive heart failure, myocardial revascularization and implantation of cardioverter-defibrillator. The prognosis of patients treated in those ways in comparison with conservatively treated groups is very good.
