This editorial refers to "Increased heart rate and reduced heart-rate variability are associated with subclinical inflammation in middle-aged and elderly subjects with no apparent heart disease"1. by Ahmad Sajadieh et al. on page 363

In the last 20 years, in spite of a larger utilization of arrhythmic risk markers, identification of sudden death victims has remained far from being satisfactory. It seems that we are unable to move out from a situation where the availability of effective devices to target ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation in selected populations only marginally affects sudden death incidence in the larger group of apparently healthy subjects.1
