Malignant ventricular arrhythmias, including ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation (VF), are leading causes of total and cardiovascular mortality (1, 2). Sudden cardiac death resulting from these ventricular arrhythmias represents a significant unsolved clinical problem (1, 2). Sudden cardiac death after ventricular arrhythmia in adults is most frequently caused by the sequelae of myocardial ischemia or myocardial infarction (MI)(1). Epidemiological studies have indicated that sudden death of a family member is a risk factor for sudden cardiac death (2). Two groups have compared individuals with and without VF during the early phase of a first MI and found that family history of sudden death is a strong risk factor for cardiac arrest during myocardial ischemia or MI (3, 4). These reports suggest that common genetic factors underlie susceptibility to VF during myocardial ischemia or MI.Genome-wide association studies are a high-throughput genotyping method to search for associations between a large number of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and phenotypic traits (5). Bezzina et al.(6) used this method to investigate patients with acute MI, focusing on a highly specific arrhythmic phenotype to minimize heterogeneity.
