Risk stratification is extremely important for primary electrical diseases because the low-risk patients are likely to remain asymptomatic through life whereas the high-risk patients often die suddenly, unless properly treated. This chapter addresses what is currently known about risk stratification for the long QT syndrome, the short QT syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, and Brugada syndrome.
