Both VF-preceded and non-arrhythmic SCD occur on Holter; leaves open relative frequency and mechanism-specific prevention.
What are the electrocardiographic mechanisms of sudden cardiac death during ambulatory Holter monitoring?
Sudden cardiac death during Holter monitoring can be caused by ventricular fibrillation preceded by ventricular tachycardia or by non-arrhythmic causes such as rapidly progressive circulatory failure.
Rettig et al. (1984) studied this question.
