The principle for a future model for sustained ventricular arrhythmias/sudden cardiac death risk stratification in dilated cardiomyopathy. Risk factors should be determined among demographic, clinical, and genetic parameters by analysing separately for and compared in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients with and those without life‐threatening ventricular arrhythmias (LTVAs). Final determination of the aggregate arrhythmic risk should be based on a multi‐parametric risk model, which will allow to tailor the therapy to individual patient's needs and prevent sudden cardiac death in DCM patients. CMR, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging; CRT‐D, cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator; ECG, electrocardiogram; ICD, implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
