Registry of Malignant Arrhythmias and Sudden Cardiac Death - Influence of Diagnostics and Interventions
The "Registry of Malignant Arrhythmias and Sudden Cardiac Death - Influence of Diagnostics
 and Interventions (RACE-IT)" represents a mono-centric registry of patients being
 hospitalized suffering from malignant arrythmias (ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation)
 and sudden cardiac death (SCD).

 Detailed findings of patients' clinical outcome regarding mortality and co-morbidities
 related to the presence of invasive diagnostics or therapies including coronary angiography,
 percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), electrophysiological testing (EP), catheter
 ablation and implanted cardiac devices (e.g. implantable cardioverter-defibrillators) will be
 documented. Patients will be included when being hospitalized from the year 2004 until today.
Inclusion Criteria:

 Hospitalization due to:

 -  ventricular tachycardia

 -  ventricular fibrillation

 -  sudden cardiac death
