Abstract
This article summarizes the current knowledge on risk stratification in patients who have structural heart disease, notably coronary artery disease and nonischemic cardiomyopathy. Although other types of structural heart disease and inherited ion channel abnormalities are also associated with a risk of SCD, the risk stratification strategies and data in these entities are diverse and beyond the scope of this article.
