i found no ans to this question.

all the ans choises are potential causes of sudden death. i just made a research on this, but cannot come out with any conclusion.

having to guess, Multiple Ventricular Arrhythmia on 24 h. Holter monitor places the patient at a greater risk for sudden death

so i go with A
