This is Part II of a 2-part article dealing with malignant ventricular arrhythmias, which are the
leading mechanism of death in common cardiac diseases. Genetic population studies
directed at discovering common proximal sources of inherited molecular risk most directly
linked to arrhythmia initiation and propagation would appear to have considerable potential
in helping reduce cardiovascular mortality.
