Risk for death in VT patients (including risk for SCD)	Class	References
Risk for SCD should be judged in each patient on a case-by-case basis and risk considered as a continuous variable rather than a dichotomized variable (high or low risk may change).		71 , 470 , 471
Individual risk assessment needs to be dynamic as the type and severity of risks can change over time (repeated measurements need to be made over time).		472
Risk assessment may include consideration of mode of death as the relative risk of non-sudden, non-cardiac death, sudden cardiac death, and non-sudden cardiac death is influenced by aging and worsening cardiomyopathy and cardiovascular risk factors.		369 , 473 , 474
